Pan Am Records

Pan Am Records is an Andorran label that specializes in reissuing Jazz, Swing, and Soul music on vinyl. With a focus on releasing albums after 2011, all of their reissues are from the public domain where the original recording copyright has expired. As a copyright company (P) / (C), Pan Am Records is known for its dedication to preserving and reintroducing classic music to new audiences.

While "Pan-American Records" and releases prior to 2011 may refer to another label, Pan Am Records stands out as a distinct entity within the music industry. They have established strong connections with other notable labels such as Disconforme SL, Elemental Music, Jazz Wax Records, and Vinyl Lovers.

With an extensive catalog of timeless jazz, swing, and soul recordings available on vinyl format, Pan Am Records offers music enthusiasts the opportunity to experience these genres in their purest form. Their commitment to quality reissues ensures that listeners can enjoy the rich sounds of iconic artists and performers like *Miles Davis*, *Ella Fitzgerald*, *Louis Armstrong*, and many more.

Trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and one of the most important figures in jazz music history. Miles Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in his five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. Born on May 26, 1926 in Alton, Illinois, USA and passed away on September 28, 1991 in Santa Monica, California at the age of 65. He is best known for his seminal modern jazz album "Kind of Blue" (1959), which remains the highest selling jazz album of all time with six million copies sold.Miles Davis studied at an academic school for musicians in NYC where he met Charlie Parker and they started playing together from 1945. In 1948, Miles Davis formed his own ensembles and collaborated with Gil Evans to create The Miles Davis Nonet. Their recordings from 1949 to 1950 resulted in the album "Birth of the Cool" (1957) and laid the foundation for their future collaborations.A pioneer of 'Hard Bop' in the mid-1950s, Miles Davis constantly pushed boundaries throughout his career. In the late 1960s, he ventured into experimenting with electronic instruments and incorporating rock and funk rhythms into his music. Despite health problems leading to a hiatus from playing in the mid-1970s, he made a comeback with an 'electronical' sound in 1980.

Limited edition 180g vinyl, one-off high-defnition audiophile pressing with deluxe inner sleeve - the complete album + bonus track "Although Miles Ahead was Miles Davis' frst recording with the Gil Evans Orchestra, it was certainly not Evans and Davis' frst collaboration. Gil and Miles' 1948-49 recordings both in the studio and broadcasted live from the Royal Roost in New York are among the true jewels of jazz history. The same can be said about Miles Ahead, a completely refned product in which the arrangements, the repertoire and the mood of every improvisation were carefully selected." - ***** DownBeat
