Miles Davis Volume 1 refers to two separate but related entities. The title was originally used for the first in a pair of compilation albums of recordings made by Miles Davis in 1952, 1953 and 1954, released in 1956 (and reissued many times) as BLP 1501 on the Blue Note Records label.

Miles Davis – Volume 1 & Volume 2. 2 LPs, 23 tracks, an hour and a half of music, 3 sessions spread over 3 years. These recordings constitute the entire output of Miles Davis on Blue Note with exception of his later, Columbia-era session with Cannonball Adderley, Somethin' Else in 1958. The first two releases in the 1500 series were Miles Davis - Volume 1 and Volume 2 (BLP 1501 and 1502). For his first Blue Note session, Miles brought along altoist Jackie McLean (just a few days shy of his 21st birthday) as well as pianist Gil Coggins. Both Coggins and McLean were part of the band with which Miles had just wrapped up a week-long engagement at Birdland.

Miles Davis in the early 1950s. Photograph: Hulton Getty. Between his first recording session in 1944 and his death in 1991, Miles Davis changed the course of music many times. The first of these came with the short-lived lineups he assembled for a New York residency and three studio sessions between January 1949 and March 1950. The nine-piece lineup was unusual – few jazz bands used a French horn – and the gigs attracted little attention
