Blue Haze

by Miles Davis

Compiling three separate studio sessions recorded between 1953 and 1954 for Prestige Records, 'Blue Haze' captures Miles Davis during a highly transitional period in his career. The tracks find the legendary trumpeter moving definitively away from the relaxed tempos of cool jazz, instead embracing a harder, more blues-driven hard bop approach. Featuring heavyweights like Charles Mingus and Horace Silver, it documents the rapid evolution of his musical philosophy.
