Looking for an early Christmas present for the jazz lover in your home? Craft Recordings has become one of the premiere sources of new and iconic jazz reissues on vinyl and we continue to be impressed with the titles and pressing quality.
You can read more about some of their best titles over the past 12 months here, and we are more than excited about this new box set which includes 4 records pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
Released to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of these recordings, “Miles ’54: The Prestige Recordings” brings together 20 tracks recorded by the trumpet legend in 1954, across 4-LPs.
All audio has been newly remastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer, Paul Blakemore, with lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.
Featuring an all-star cast of musicians, including Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson, Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey, and Horace Silver, Miles ’54 blends originals by the influential jazz icon with popular ballads and compositions by his legendary sidemen.
