Miles Davis - Miles Ahead
"Although Miles Ahead was Miles Davis' frst recording with the Gil Evans
Orchestra, it was certainly not Evans and Davis' frst collaboration. Gil and Miles'
1948-49 recordings both in the studio and broadcasted live from the Royal Roost
in New York are among the true jewels of jazz history. The same can be said
about Miles Ahead, a completely refned product in which the arrangements, the
repertoire and the mood of every improvisation were carefully selected." - *****
