The record
John Lewis (2) at the piano, Percy Heath on bass and Max Roach on drums put a light, springing floor under Miles Davis across these two sides. Prestige issued it as catalog 902 in 1955, a 10-inch shellac 78 -- a quartet date that reached buyers one side at a time rather than as an album.
