Classic and Phenomenal
This is probably the best jazz cd that I have ever owned and is an excellent introduction to Miles Davis. Miles' soothing horn accompanied by Evans' mellow orchestra should be in every listener's repertoire. These are the sounds musicians strive their entire lives to attain.
Simply Sublime...!
I'll start by saying that I have given this disc as a gift to a number of friends. It is just some of the most beautiful music ever. Miles' horn over Evans' orchestra and arrangements produces something difficult to describe in words. It can be appreciated on so many levels--by the most knowledgable jazz fan as well as folks who don't know anything about the music. It is both accessible and complex. It can be carefully listened to in order to plumb the depths of the arrangements and mastery of mood and structure. Or it can be used as background music to a romantic dinner or friendly conversation. Once you listen to this music, you will be thankful for your ears....
A nice intro to new MILES fans
As I say above, this collection is a nice intro for newer fans to Miles's work - specifically with the beautifully mild arrangements of Gil Evans.
Miles is a chameleon with regard to styles and this collection focuses on ensamble (spelling?) playing with choice cuts from POGRY & BESS, MILES AHEAD and SKETCHES OF SPAIN (my least fav out of Miles's incredible cannon of music - but then again, even a subpar Miles puts many others to shame).The one thing that is nice about this collection is it includes an excerpt from the longer "Time of the Barracudas" suite.
If you're new to Miles it's a wonderful intro focusing on his "cooler" side.
Enjoy cats!
