“Miles Davis, Vol. 2” – Miles Davis

Album: Miles Davis, Vol. 2

Artist: Miles Davis

Year: 1953

Genre: Bebop

Grade: A-

Hot, fast-paced, lively jazz played by a solid ensemble featuring Miles Davis (trumpet), Al Blakey (drums), J.J. Johnson (trombone) and others. Miles Davis, Vol. 2, while certainly not an essential album, is worthwhile for completists seeking out the jazz icon’s early Blue Note catalogue (despite being Davis’ fifth LP overall, this is his second session for the Blue Note label, hence the title). Anyways, a very fun listen.
