from Oannes *

Ακούμε μερικές από τις πρώτες ηχογραφήσεις του Miles Davis, ως μέλους διάφορων σχημάτων του Charlie Parker, στο ξεκίνημα της εποχής του Bebop.
Το ‘Donna Lee’ είναι η πρώτη σύνθεση του τρομπετίστα που ηχογραφήθηκε ποτέ σύμφωνα με τον ίδιο – το credit, όπως είχε αναφέρει, αποδόθηκε στον CP από λάθος της εταιρίας.

We hear some of the first Miles Davis’ recordings, as a member of Charlie Parker’s various outfits, in the beginning of Bebop era.
‘Donna Lee’ is the trumpeter’s first composition ever recorded according to himself – the credit, as he’s stated, was given to CP by label’s mistake.
