The Musings of Miles is the first 12" LP record by Miles Davis. It was issued by Prestige Records in September 1955, following several LPs issued in the 10 inch format.[1][2] The six tracks were all recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's home studio on June 7, 1955.[3]

Pianist Red Garland and drummer Philly Joe Jones would go on to join Miles' First Great Quintet, that would record later in 1955.[4] "A Night in Tunisia" features Jones playing with special drum sticks which had bells riveted to the shaft.[5]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called it "likable if not essential music."[6]
