Background
Personal life
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]
Release history
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]
