Customer Reviews

If you can afford it, get the original albums!
Every track on this CD is a gem. However, if your budget allows, either purchase the boxed set (there is virtually no filler!), or at least pick up KIND OF BLUE, 'ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT, and MILESTONES (the three albums that comprise nearly all of the tracks on this compilation). These Miles Davis CDs maintain a standard of brilliance from the first note to the last...why settle for anything less? THE BEST OF... is recommended if you really feel a one-disc sampling of this period is sufficient, although it's difficult to imagine buying this and not wanting more!

Outstanding (in the eyes of 15 year old jazz fanatic)
In a world of overpriced and mediocre music, Best of Miles Davis and John Coltrane is a shining light. Although I recommend the full set titled Miles Davis and John Coltrane: The Complete Columbia Recordings, a less expensive but still extroadinary album can be found in this product. This collection features the most outstanding Trane solo on Someday My Prince Will Come, exceptional lyricism on Round Midnight and blazingly fast excitement on tracks such the rare alternate take of Sraight, No Chaser, a true American anthem. Keep yourself groovin' on the way to work with Best of Miles and John

Selected Recordings of Sheer Brilliance!
If you're new to Jazz, you need to own this CD as a great introductory primer to the art. If you're an old hand at Jazz, you need to own this CD to remind you really quickly just how great this art is....in case you've forgotten. Definitely worth picking up for the wonderful packaging, awesome liner notes, and great mastering. But most of all- for the magic of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, et al! This music makes you feel good to be alive! Highly recommended.
