Miles Davis Newbe Question

Correction on that Coltrane CD, that's "Coltrane for Lovers"; "In a Sentimental Mood" is one of the cuts.

I suggest you go to the library and sample before you spend one red cent. Most artists evolve, Miles went from one revolution to the next. Once upon a time, I bought every record he put out. Now I have CD's that I have to put in the player to know what they sound like. After the second cut I take them back out. At the same time, I have many records by Miles that take me back to another heavenly time and place. My point is, there are a number of Miles Davis's and no one can like them all.

Equinox, Blue Trane, and Cousin Mary are my personal personal favorites by Trane. I also have a CD, "In a Sentimental Mood", that I think you would like.

In my opinion, "Something Else" by Cannonball Adderley is the best jazz album ever. The reason I mention this is because Miles never blew better, he was at his absolute peak. He sounds better on this album than on his albums. This maybe the only album in my collection on which I like every cut.

Clifford is my favorite too. His pairing with Max Roach was the best. Richie Powell, who was Bud Powell's younger brother was also killed in that accident.

There never has been, and there never will be another "Bird". His music is "current" always and forever.

Do you have "Charley Parker With Strings", it's timeless. "Bebop" is kind of a mood thing, and while it illustrates the virtuosity of "Bird" it came and it went.

That album is a treasure to me as well

Ck, tell us what you've listened to that you liked the most including sidemen with Miles and we can realy help you. While some of the very best jazz musicians have been mentioned, many have been left out.
