Miles Davis All Stars, Volume 1

Miles Davis All Stars, Volume 1 (PRLP 196) is a 10 inch LP album by Miles Davis, released by Prestige Records.[1][2][3] The two side-long tracks on this LP, and two others, were recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey, on December 24, 1954.[4] This was the first of two 10" LPs sourced from the same session, which featured major be-bop contemporaries Milt Jackson and Thelonious Monk, along with the same rhythm section that had been used on Davis' other recent albums. Jackson, Heath, and Clarke were at the time of recording three quarters of the Modern Jazz Quartet.
