Miles Davis – Birth of the Blue / Analogue Productions

Miles Davis' “Kind Of Blue” is undisputedly considered THE jazz album par excellence: an ensemble and five songs that made music history! However, what many jazz enthusiasts

don't know is that the 1958 studio recording sessions of this sextet, consisting of pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and

Julian “Cannonball” Adderley and led by trumpet maestro Davis, have brought four more songs to life – compositions that deserve to be immortalized together on one single LP!

Here it is: “Birth Of The Blue” is nothing less than a unique document of a genius and his equally genious companions. The pieces on this album reflect the historical and musical significance

of the protagonists and offer fascinating insights into the modal jazz that made “Kind Of Blue” immortal.

Analogue Productions is proud to present “Birth Of The Blue” in an exclusive vinyl release: the original 3-track recordings were lovingly mixed down to a brand new 30 ips quarter-inch stereo

master tape by senior mastering engineer Vic Anesini at Battery Studios. This was then cut by Matthew Lutthans (The Mastering Lab) at 33 RPM using the legendary all-tube system and cutting

lathe from Doug Sax. The 180-gram vinyl LP was, of course, pressed by Quality Record Pressings and comes with an extremely luxurious, tip-on gatefold jacket with a deluxe scuff-resistant matte

finish by Stoughton Printing. “Birth Of The Blue” offers a highly audiophile sound experience and an extremely high repertoire value, making it an essential purchase - not only for fans of Miles Davis!

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
