from wikipedia.com

Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants is an album by Miles Davis, released on Prestige Records. Most of the material comes from a session on December 24, 1954, but "'Round Midnight" is from the sessions by Davis's new quintet in 1956 which resulted in Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet and three other albums to fulfill Davis's contract with Prestige.

The 1954 session is notable as the only time Thelonious Monk made a studio recording with Davis – the two men did not get on well, as Davis felt Monk ought to be "laying out" (refraining from playing) during the trumpeter's solos. Ira Gitler, who was present at the session and wrote the sleevenotes for the album, dispels the myth that the two men confronted each other physically, but there was argument throughout the session. The first take of "The Man I Love" has a false start caused by Monk asking when he should start playing, and an exasperated Davis telling engineer Rudy Van Gelder, "Hey Rudy, put this on the record, man – all of it!". In his autobiography, Davis recalls "When I heard stories later saying that me and him was almost about to fight after I had him lay out while I was playing on 'Bags' Groove,' I was shocked, because Monk and I were, first, very close, and second, he was too big and strong for me to even be thinking about fighting [...] All I did was tell him to lay out when I was playing. My asking him to lay out had something to do with music, not friendship. He used to tell cats to lay out himself."

VINYL GRADING

based on Goldmine grading, but stricter (ie, my idea of VG is actually VERY GOOD)

SS - New, still sealed

NM - Like New, no visible signs of wear, no spindle marks. 

EX - Almost like new, may have very light spindle marks or very minor scuffs. Cover may have very light ringwear or minor dings.

VG - Not bad, may have light scratches or marks on cover.
