Conception is a compilation album issued by Prestige Records in 1956 as PRLP 7013, featuring Miles Davis on a number of tracks. The album features other notable musicians such as Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan and Zoot Sims. The cover was designed by Bob Parent. The tracks had all been previously released by Prestige in discontinued formats, either on 10 inch LPs, or as 78rpm singles. In particular, the entirety of the 10"LP Lee Konitz: The New Sounds (PRLP 116) makes up all of side 1.
Note: The final track, "So What", is not the composition of the same name composed by Miles Davis from the 1959 album Kind of Blue.
"Prezervation"
originally released on the 78rpm single:
"Intoit"
originally released on the 78rpm single:
"I May Be Wrong"
"So What"
"I May Be Wrong" and "So What" were originally issued on the 10"LP Chubby Jackson All Star Big Band (PRLP 105), although they are here credited to Gerry Mulligan.
"Odjenar", "Hibeck", "Yesterdays", "Ezz-Thetic"
"Indian Summer", "Duet for Saxophone and Guitar"
All six Lee Konitz tracks were originally issued on the 10"LP Lee Konitz: The New Sounds (PRLP 116), which is reissued in its entirety here. The tracks with Miles Davis as a sideman were recorded after Davis' first Prestige session, and before Davis' own debut album, also called The New Sounds (PRLP 124). Konitz and Davis had previously worked together on the Birth of the Cool sessions.
"Conception", "My Old Flame"
Both Miles Davis tracks were previously released on Miles Davis: the New Sounds (PRLP 124), Davis' first album. The other two tracks from that album were reissued on Dig (PRLP 7012), and "Conception" and "My Old Flame" have been added as bonus tracks to the later reissues of the Dig CD.
