1953 studio album by Miles Davis
Miles Davis, Vol. 2 is the fifth 10-inch LP by trumpeter Miles Davis , recorded on April 20, 1953[ 4] and released on Blue Note later that year—his second session and first release for the label.
The recording was made at a point in Davis' life when he was struggling with heroin addiction ; in his autobiography Davis recounts Jimmy Heath , Art Blakey and he were all very high in the studio. Davis also states that the song title "C.T.A." was named after Heath's girlfriend Connie Theresa Ann.[ 5]
Early 1956, Blue Note reissued the contents of Miles Davis's three sessions on two 12" LPs, Miles Davis Vols. 1 & 2 , shortly after Davis won the DownBeat readers poll as best trumpeter; the two volumes of repackaged Miles Davis material were the first releases in Blue Note's new 1500 series of 12" LPs.[ 6] [ 7]
Side 2 Title Writer(s) 1. "Kelo" Johnson 3:20 2. "I Waited for You" 3:31 3. "C.T.A." Jimmy Heath 3:36 Total length: 21:31
