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!
