Original ca. 1960 prospectus from Capitol Records' "Dimensions in Jazz" series, featuring an early full-page signed photograph of the legendary jazz trumpeter. Davis shown as a young man holding his trumpet, and has signed: "Miles Davis / Thank you." Opposite, a page of text gives Davis' biography. The booklet also features photographs and text on the Modern Jazz Quartet, Virgil Gonsalves, a young Nina Simone, and others, as well as a two-page spread on "Jazz in America" by John S. Wilson, with amusing drawings. Some light toning and rubbing to the spine, but signed photograph very fine and overall fine. 9 x 12 inches (22.8 x 30.5 cm). Signed images of Davis are surprisingly uncommon from this period.
