Description
Miles Davis' classic LP 'Round About Midnight + 2 bonus tracks pressed on 180g purple vinyl, includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide To Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

"It's a contentious issue, but there is little argument that with 'Round About Midnight, for all its implied conservatism and the awkward circumstances of its making, Miles created an album of almost perfect aesthetic balance, looking backward and forward, as he always did, with equal affection." - Penguin Guide to Jazz

Description

The Poll Winners label is devoted to the reissue of albums that received the maximum 5-Star review ratings in the iconic jazz magazine DownBeat, this release features Miles Davis' complete classic album 'Round About Midnight (CL949), which was the trumpeter's first LP for the Columbia label. Davis signed with the major record company after his success at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival, where he performed a version of Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight with the composer. As a bonus, they have added an extra version of "'Round Midnight" by the exact same quintet recorded for the Prestige label a few months later.
Includes a comprehensive 12-page booklet.

Description

The complete LP + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl.
Miles Davis' quintet formed in 1955 is widely regarded as one of the greatest combos in jazz history. Miles was recording for the independent jazz label Prestige at the time, but after the quintet's success at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival, Miles received a substantial offer from the recording giant Columbia. 'Round About Midnight was his first album for Columbia.
"First, let me say that you should buy this LP immediately. Perhaps even two copies, since you may wear out one playing it and you will want another. This is the kind of album to which one returns time and time again because it is, in its way, a perfect thing, a slice of modern jazz conceived and executed in the very best style." - ***** Ralph J. Gleason, DownBeat
