Miles Davis: The New Miles Davis Quintet (1955)

The New Miles Davis Quintet is an album recorded on 15 November 1955 by Miles Davis, for Prestige Records. As the name suggests, it was the first to feature his now-famous "first great quintet" ( though in fact they had recorded a session for Columbia Records three weeks earlier, eventually released on the album 'Round About Midnight ). The album is often known as Miles, since that is the only word on the cover. As with the other albums recorded for Prestige the following year, the quintet was playing familiar material in a fairly straightforward manner. Coltrane does not play on "There is No Greater Love". ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
