Craft Recordings will commemorate seven decades since one of Miles Davis' most pivotal early years with a new 2CD or 4LP compilation that brings everything he recorded in that period together.  Miles '54: The Prestige Recordings offers 20 tracks from several unforgettable sessions, with luminaries like pianists Horace Silver and Thelonious Monk, drummer Art Blakey, saxophonist Sonny Rollins, and vibraphonist Milt Jackson offering their talents in Davis' ensembles. The package includes a new essay by writer Ashley Kahn and in-depth session notes from Dan Morgenstern. The package commemorates both the anniversary of these sessions as well as the 75th anniversary of Prestige Records, the label that released them.
