The Miles Davis Sextet – Jazz At The Plaza Volume 1 is a live recording from September 9, 1958 at the Plaza Hotel in New York. Columbia threw a party there to celebrate its jazz division, and the musicians did not know they were being taped. It features the sextet of the "Kind Of Blue" era with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. The recordings were only released in 1973 on Columbia. This copy is a 1977 US reissue (Columbia PC 32470).
