The record

Two titles only -- 'Bemsha Swing' and 'The Man I Love' -- and a band that justifies the ten inches: Miles Davis on trumpet, Milt Jackson on vibes, Thelonious Monk at the piano, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke underneath. Rudy Van Gelder engineered and cut it, Bob Weinstock took the photograph, Don Schlitten designed the cover. Prestige, mono, 1955.
