The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961

'The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961' documents Miles Davis' first years and earliest albums for Columbia Records, spanning October 1955 through March 1961. Capturing one of the most important collaborations in jazz history, these recordings showcase the creative evolution of two legendary musicians whose influence continues to resonate across generations. This deluxe 6CD edition faithfully recreates the acclaimed original 2000 box set, featuring six CDs housed in individually designed mini jackets and presented in a premium slipcase. Included is a stunning 112-page book packed with rare photographs, memorabilia, Grammy Award-winning liner notes by Bob Blumenthal, contributions from producers Michael Cuscuna and Bob Belden, and a remembrance from drummer Jimmy Cobb. The original release won two Grammy Awards, including Best Boxed Set/Special Limited Edition Packaging and Best Liner Notes.
