[1]Dig is an album by Miles Davis on Prestige Records, catalogue number 7012. Initially released in the ten-inch format in 1951, Dig was later reissued as a twelve-inch LP with additional tracks. Subsequent compact disc reissues duplicate the twelve-inch track listing.
After inaugurating the school of cool jazz with the Birth of the Cool recording sessions in 1949 and 1950, Davis almost immediately turned away from that sound in the early 1950s, to which this recording attests. Dig was also the recording debut of saxophonist Jackie McLean.
