MILES DAVIS - YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN

MILES DAVIS - YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN Young Man with a Horn (BLP 5013) is the second studio album by jazz musician Miles Davis. It was released as a 10-inch mono LP by Blue Note Records in March 1953. The recording was made at the WOR studios in New York in May 1952.  The album was recorded at a time in his career while he was struggling with heroin addiction. This was the first of three 10"LPs recorded by Davis for Blue Note in the early 1950s. Davis says in his autobiography that his contract for Prestige Records, for whom he had recorded his first LP the year before, was non-exclusive, but elsewhere he states the initial Prestige contract was for only one year. All cuts were initially issued as singles except "How Deep Is the Ocean". The recordings were re-released on 12 inch LPs in 1956 after Davis won the Down Beat readers poll as best trumpeter.[The original master takes were split and merged with Davis' two other sessions for Blue Note (Miles Davis Volume 1 and Volume 2).
