From Wikipedia: "Bags' Groove is a jazz album recorded by Miles Davis in 1954 for Prestige Records. Both takes of the title track come from a session on December, 24 1954 ("Bags" was vibraphonist Milt Jackson's nickname). The rest of the album was recorded earlier in the year, on 29 June. The title composition and the three compositions on the album by the young Sonny Rollins all went on to become jazz standards. The track "Oleo" was the first time that Davis used the Harmon mute on a studio recording. It would become an important part of his trumpet sound for the rest of his career." (Wikipedia.)
Record and jacket are in excellent condition. LP was rarely played, is shiny and clean with minor surface noise, no skips. Jacket is tight, very slight wear and soil, and very light staining visible in white lettering on front (see photos).
NO RESERVE.
