''The Compositions Of Al Cohn'' (PRLP 154) is a 1953 10 inch LP album by Miles Davis.〔(''The Compositions Of Al Cohn'' ), Discogs.com, accessed July 4, 2014〕 It is his third album as leader for Prestige,〔(''The Compositions Of Al Cohn'' ), the Jazz Discography Project, accessed May 20, 2014〕〔(''The Compositions Of Al Cohn'' ), Miles Ahead: A Miles Davis Website, accessed May 20, 2014〕 and fourth altogether, following 1952's ''Young Man with a Horn'' for Blue Note. The four tracks were recorded at New York's Beltone Studios on February 19, 1953.〔(February 19, 1953 Session Details ), Miles Ahead: A Miles Davis Website, accessed May 21, 2014〕 All the tunes were written by tenor saxophonist, composer and arranger Al Cohn. Ira Gitler's liner notes explain the desire to return to arranged music, along the lines of the ''Birth of the Cool'' sessions, following three albums focused more on soloing. "...it was felt that Miles needed a change of pace for his next recording date; compositions and arrangements which would suit him and result in a happy combination of arranged music and solo work ... Three of the pieces, "Willie The Wailer", "Floppy", and "For Adults Only" were written for this session. "Tasty Pudding" had been written before but Al arranged it specially for Miles and this date." 〔(''The Compositions Of Al Cohn'' liner notes ) Miles Ahead: A Miles Davis Website, accessed May 20, 2014〕 In his autobiography, Davis suggests Bob Weinstock had pressured him to record a more disciplined album with more "respectable" musicians, following the debacle of the incomplete session with Charlie Parker attempted earlier that year (released in 1956 as ''Collectors' Items'' (PRLP 7044)).〔"Miles: the Autobiography", Miles Davis with Quincy Troupe, 1989, pg.161〕 After the 10" LP format was discontinued, the four tracks were all included on the 12" album ''Miles Davis and Horns'' (PRLP 7025). ==Track listing== ;A side # "Tasty Pudding" (Al Cohn) - 3:20 # "Floppy" (Cohn) - 6:00 ;B side # "Willie The Wailer" (Cohn) - 4:26 # "For Adults Only" (Cohn) - 5:33 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Compositions Of Al Cohn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
