Search - Miles Davis :: Bags' Groove

Bags' Groove, originally released in 1957 by Prestige Records, compiles material from two Miles Davis LPs recorded in 1954 plus two alternate takes. The title track (which refers to vibraphonist Milt Jackson's nickname) and the three compositions written by the young Sonny Rollins went on to become jazz standards. On ''Oleo,'' Davis used a Harmon mute - it was the first time he used it on a studio recording and it would become an important feature of his playing.
