Bags Groove (composition)

"Bags Groove" is a jazz composition by Milt Jackson.


It was rst recorded by the Milt Jackson Quintet on Apr.
7, 1952 for Blue Note Records. Lou Donaldson, John
Lewis, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke were on that date.
Next was the Mat Mathews quintet with Herbie Mann
(July 6, 1953), Bud Powell (Sept. 1953), Mat Mathews
again (Sept. 1, 1953), a bootleg version by the MJQ (Oct.
31, 1953), the Lighthouse All-Stars (Feb. 25, 1954),
bassist Buddy Banks' quartet (with Bob Dorough and Roy
Haynes in Oct. 1954) and then Jay Jay Johnson & Kai
Winding (Dec. 3, 1954).
Perhaps the most famous recording was the one by Miles
Davis's quintet in 1954. The recording was released on
the 1957 album Bags Groove. Bags Groove, along
with "Oleo", "Doxy" and "Airegin" from the same album,
has become a jazz standard.[1]
