Blue Haze is an album recorded in 1953 and 1954 by Miles Davis, for Prestige Records. The first track on the album is from the 3 April 1954 session which resulted in half of the album Walkin' (and was originally included on the 10" vinyl version of that album). The remainder is the result of two sessions on 19 May 1953 and 15 March 1954, the first being a quintet with John Lewis, Charles Mingus (on piano, not bass), Percy Heath and Max Roach, and the second a quartet with Horace Silver, Heath, and Art Blakey. Tracks 2 and 7 are wrongly credited as Davis compositions - they are both in fact by Eddie Vinson. However, Vinson supposedly wrote these tunes for Davis, and this is probably how the confusion has occurred.
Tracks:
1. I'll Remember April 7:52
2. Four 4:00
3. Old Devil Moon 3:22
4. Smooch 3:04
5. Blue Haze 6:08
6. When Lights Are Low 3:25
7. Tune Up 3:52
8. Miles Ahead 4:28
