is a compilation album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, released in 1974 on CBS/Sony. Recording sessions for the album took place on May 26, 1958, at Columbia's 30th Street Studio and September 9, 1958, at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. 1958 Miles consists of three songs featured on side two of the LP album Jazz Track, which was released earlier in 1958, one song from the same session not appearing in the album (Love for Sale), and three recordings from Davis' live performance at the Plaza Hotel with his ensemble sextet. The recording date at 30th Street Studio served as the first documented session to feature pianist Bill Evans performing in Davis' group. The sessions for the album in mid-1958, along with the Milestones sessions from earlier that year, were seen by many music writers as elemental in Miles Davis' transition from bebop to the modal style of jazz and were viewed as precursors to his best-known work, Kind of Blue. Following audio engineering and digital restoration by engineer Larry Keyes at Sony Music New York Studio, the album was reissued on compact disc in 1991 as part of Columbia's Jazz Masterpieces Series. For later reissues, the album was retitled as '58 Sessions Featuring Stella by Starlight or '58 Miles Featuring Stella by Starlight.Side one Recorded at Columbia's 30th Street Studio, New York, New York, on May 26, 1958.[18] " On Green Dolphin Street " (Kaper, Washington) – 9:48 " Fran Dance " (Davis) – 5:48 " Stella by Starlight " (Young, Washington) – 4:41 " Love for Sale " (Porter) – 11:43 Side two Recorded live at The Plaza Hotel, New York, New York, on September 9, 1958.[8] " Straight, No Chaser " (Monk) – 10:57 " My Funny Valentine " (Rodgers, Hart) – 10:05 " Oleo " (Rollins) – 10:48Miles Davis – trumpet, leader Julian "Cannonball" Adderley – alto saxophone John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Bill Evans – piano Paul Chambers – bass Jimmy Cobb – drums _______________________________ Released 1974 Label: Columbia Producer: Teo Macero
