MUSIC FOR BRASS was recorded in 1956 and released midway in 1957. (A Japanese Sony CD was released in the early 90's under Miles Davis' name; Davis plays on two pieces on the album.) As originally released its first side was a "classical" composition, Gunther Schuller's "Symphony for Brass and Percussion, Op.16," performed by a classical brass ensemble conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos. The second side had three compositions by jazz musicians: "Three Little Feelings" by John Lewis, "Poem For Brass" by J. J. Johnson, and "Pharaoh" by Jimmy Giuffre. These were performed by a brass orchestra (trumpets, trombones, French horns, baritone horns, tuba + bass & drums) made up of jazz musicians and "session" musicians, joined by Miles Davis (on the Lewis and Johnson pieces) as soloist.
