From that stereo master tape, Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab cut the lacquers at 33⅓rpm using Doug Sax’s custom all-tube system and cutting lathe. The lacquers were plated and pressed on 180g vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) in Salinas, Kansas. A Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket and artwork seeks to replicate the Columbia Records look from 1959.

Analogue Productions, the world leader in high-quality vinyl production, is thrilled to announce the December 13, 2024 release of Birth of the Blue, a collection documenting the transformative first session in 1958 by the same ensemble that would go on to record Kind of Blue - one of the greatest and greatest-selling jazz albums of all time — the following year. Featuring Davis’ legendary sextet - John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb — who had first come together less than two weeks prior, this historic set was recorded at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio, and captures the origins of a momentous shift in modern jazz. Featuring four tracks, including three ballads and one Davis original, the music was meticulously remastered from new transfers of the original stereo session tapes, and is presented here as a standalone release for the first time ever!

• Innovative Sound: The session represented a crucial transition in jazz, blending elements of hard bop with early modal jazz influences, showcasing the ensemble's experimentation and forward-thinking approach.

• Undervalued Legacy: Despite its historical and musical significance, the session's recordings have been historically overlooked, often relegated to being add-ons in compilations rather than recognized as standalone masterpieces.

• Modal Jazz Precursor: Offered early glimpses into the modal jazz that would later be fully realized in Davis's groundbreaking album "Kind of Blue," laying the groundwork for future jazz innovation.

• Impact on Artists: Served as a critical point of development and confidence for the musicians involved, particularly Bill Evans, who noted the significant impact of this experience on his own identity and style.

• Historical Context: This occurred at a peak moment in Miles Davis's career, following his signing with Columbia Records and his critical and commercial successes with albums such as ‘Round About Midnight and Miles Ahead.

• Revealed backstory: Extensive liner notes by the Grammy Award-winning author Ashley Kahn, who also penned the essential book, Kind Of Blue - The Making Of The Miles Davis Masterpiece
