The best Miles Davis collection. .......2005-07-18

Miles Davis and John Coltrane, musically, were made for each other. One already a legend, the other soon-to-be, this is a heckuva pair. Add Cannonball Aderly, Philly Joe Jones, Red Garland and Paul Chambers and you have the best ensemble jazz ever saw. Plus we get half 'Round About Midnight and Milestones, as well as works of jazz expertise So What, Blue in Green, and Someday My Prince Will Come. Let's also not forget Straight, No Chaser, Milestones, 'Round Midnight and Bye Bye Blackbird. Buy it today.

Certain Times.......2003-09-26

There are just certain times after midnight that nothing else will do but a Miles and Coltrane mixer. Like scotch and soda, gin and tonic, vodka and cranberry, these two just glide together. Put some ice in the glass, mix yourself a cocktail, sit back with a companion, or by your lonesome and let the chords and groove chase your early morning blues out the door! The only glaring bump in the buzz is that their wonderfully rendered "My Funny Valentine" is not on this compilation. This is nonetheless all good/

Good but inevitably omits too much.......2002-12-11

The four stars is for the desirability of the record; the tracks deserve five stars without a doubt. In fairness to the music company, it must be said that the tracks chosen are NOT "below par", and they DO give an adequate impression of some of the best music performed by this extraordinary quintet. The trouble is, however, that anyone with any serious interest in Davis's music would, if buying just this record, soon want all of the CDs from which this selection has been taken. As usual, therefore, it is not really a good idea to buy a selection, but that argument applies with the more force in this case because Davis, Coltrane, and their group left us SO MUCH of significance. So my advice is NOT to buy this if you feel you may very well want to buy more CDs of this group, and even if you haven't yet made up your mind that you will, it is, I feel, best to keep your options open from the start. - ...

This is good.......2002-04-20

Two jazz giants together, playing popular themes that everyone knows, it can't get much better! Miles and Coltrane really are great. Its great to hear them playing from GIllespie, its seriously good. I would wish that the Straight No Chaser master takes would be included, as well as Dolphin Street, because they are both essential to the master tenor sax and Miles

Outstanding (in the eyes of 15 year old jazz fanatic).......2001-12-28

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

A master.......2003-10-25

This is one of the first discs I acquired when I decided to beef up the jazz presence in my CD collection. Miles Davis is an essential performer and the compilation presents an overview of his fine work in the 50s. The tracks are short but fascinating and moving. Get it.

Early Miles, fun hour of charting his progress..........2002-12-29

This compilation highlights the first ten years of M.D.'s long career, from "Birth of the Cool" through the classic "Somethin' Else" record which officially was led by Cannonball Adderley, but was really a Davis project. While everything on here is worth hearing, and wears well, the 1949 and '52 selections really seem shallow when compared to the 1958 complexity and beauty of "Autumn Leaves" and "Somethin' Else." If you already own that latter CD, you don't need to buy this one unless you are a Miles completist. As an overview of Davis in the 1950's, however, this is great. Consider his Columbia album "Kind of Blue", done in '59 with most of the same help as on "Somethin' Else" as the start of Miles in the '60's. I'm not even a big Miles fan, although I saw him perform in Madison Square Garden around 1970 and owned his "Live at the Blackhawk" on vinyl.You just can't own a classic jazz collection and leave him out, however. The music he created after 1970 does not interest me as much as his '50's and '60's work. If you think like me, you'll like this disc a lot.

a good introductory recording.......2002-09-18

"Yesterdays," "Well You Needn't," "It Never Entered My Mind," "Autumn Leaves"...these tracks represent Miles Davis at his best (not most outlandish, but best). I first got into Miles Davis after acquiring this CD, and I think given its price, this is a worthy introductory recording indeed. If you are a die-hard Davis aficionado and recording collector, you probably won't need this CD. But if you want to devote some space on your record shelf to good jazz music, you simply cannot pass this one up.

nice, but beware...........2000-09-24

In some ways, this lp is a misnomer, as Miles recorded so little on the Blue Note label that all of the songs he did (2 lps worth-both compilations- in the end, other than "Birth of the Cool")are the essential recordings.

Nevertheless, what Miles DID record for the label are gems. The bulk of the recordings were recorded in 2 sessions;

May 1952, featuring JJ Johnson (trombone), Jackie MacLean (alto sax), Gil Coggins (piano), Oscar Pettiford (b), Kenny Clarke (dr) (tracks 4-6 on this cd)...

April 1953: with Johnson, Jimmy Heath (tenor sax), Coggins, Percy Heath (b), and Art Blakey (dr) (tracks 7-11)

Tracks 1-3 are from the "Birth of the Cool"

Tracks 12-14 are from March 1954 with Horace Silver (piano), Percy Heath, and Art Blakey.

The songs are classics, and the playing, while great at moments, belies the terrible heroin habit that Miles and some of the other players (notably MacLean, Jimmy Heath and Blakey) were suffering from; that is why Miles' tone seems very thin at times and other times it seemed like Miles had just started playing again after long stretches of not doing so (which in fact was true).

So, take that all into consideration as you listen to these sides and get this cd. The songs are wonderful and while Miles was a junkie during this period, he could still coax a great performance out of himself, as many of these tracks show.

An excellent collection of Miles davis hard-bop years.......2000-09-08

The best of the Blue note/ Capitol years is a compilation CD of some of the prime work from miles Davis early work as a bandleader and sideman during the 1950's. This colection mostly made up of Miles playing hard bop and really swinging. Much to like here from the uptempo bop tune move to the mid tempo enigma to the almost ballad like autumn leaves. Those are my favorites but even the other cuts are excellent. So why no five stars? There is a box set of miles davis capitol blue note years which contains all of the tunes here and then some. It's a little pricey but definetely wotth it. But for those on a budget that want to get a taste of an young Miles Davis it's definetely worth it.

Miles and Sinatra: The Tragically Beautiful Legacy of Happy Days.......2006-06-12

Of course there are some disappointments--e.g. the exclusion of "New Rhumba" from "Milestones," of "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" from "Porgy and Bess" and of the penetrating "Saeta" from "Sketches"--but this is a downright satisfying collection, one that I go to far more frequently than to the complete LP's, all three of which I own. The inclusion of the lengthy but poignant Adagio from "Concierto de Aranjuez," perhaps the singlemost moving performance on all three albums, is more than I could have hoped for.

The audio has been freshened up a bit, most notably the added brilliance in the upper brass, so if you're a regular frequenter of this collection, without which any assessment of Miles Davis would be glaringly incomplete, go for all 3 CD's.

Miles and Evans' accomplishment here rivals that of Sinatra and Nelson Riddle. These are not simply solo stars being backed by an orchestra. Both performers are featured as solo artists in complete programs that are of such a whole as to constitute an orchestral tone poem, or unified and continuous piece. Moreover, if we look more carefully at both the Miles/Evans programs and those of Sinatra/Riddle ("In the Wee Small Hours," "Close to You," "Only the Lonely"), we sense a degree of elegiac sadness, of profound loss, of tragic perspective that runs completely counter to widely held views of the 1950's as the so-called "happy days." This was a post-War period of acutely felt changes, leading to the projects of artists to recover and renew what had been most vital about the American experience and resulting in meditative, searching, profound works of popular art such as have not since been seen or heard.

Whether Miles and Gil (or Sinatra and Riddle, for that matter) hold up today and are still capable of capturing new generations remains to be seen. Perhaps the question becomes: would a listener who was totally unfamiliar with the "persona" of Miles Davis or Frank Sinatra respond simply to the incredible beauty of performances such as these? I would like to think so, though I suspect it will be a limited response--and even then only by individuals who listen patiently and actively and who, above all, see music as a revelation of what is most personal, vital and enduring in the human heart.

A nice intro to new MILES fans.......2002-06-04

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!

If you were to exclude Kind of Blue.............2002-04-07

This would be my favorite CD of Miles' work if Kind of Blue did not exist. The funky rich brasses behind Miles that Gil Evans puts down are impeccable. What a rich background for My Ship and Summertime. Could not get these out of my head after hearing them. Miles is a complex character and who would put Evans and Miles together, but it is magic.

Simply Sublime...!.......2000-12-04

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....

What A Combination.......2000-03-22

Miles sounds Incredible here.Gil Evans Orchestra is right on time thru this must have.The Music Between these two is timeless.Miles Davis Never had Limits with his Music.that's What Made Him Original&A Genius.

Only the BEST if you don't count most of Miles' career!.......2004-12-09

This "Best Of Miles Davis" (how many of these collections are there at this point?) is culled only from his days at Prestige (1951-1956), a period which included some good albums and saw tremendous adjustments to his style. But almost anyone would argue that his greatest work and most fruitful collaborating was done during his many years with Columbia.
The title aside, the choice of songs here is perceptive including some of the most interesting tracks, if not the best known, that Miles recorded with a variety of ensembles during this formative period. In particular, check out the clean confidence of "I'll Remeber April" (from the sessions for the "Walkin'" album) and the loping blues line of "Doxy", written by Sonny Rollins and featuring him on tenor. "Oleo" and "I Could Write A Book" offer a glimpse of Miles' first great quintet just before they leave Prestige to expand their sound at Columbia. The former featuring young John Coltrane and the latter a good example of the complimentary care that Miles and pianist Red Garland could take with a ballad. The only puzzler here is the choice of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top", a 9-minute version of the tune from "Oklahoma". It's a nice interpretation, but in such a brief collection, two shorter and more exemplary songs might be more appropriate. As an introduction to Miles' work between "Birth of the Cool" and "'Round About Midnight", one could do worse than this collection.

What this disc represents is an abridged version of 1998's mammoth box set for listeners who feel they don't need six whole discs of the classic Quintet--and in many ways they may be right: Miles after all was always an experimenter, looking for new ways to test the membrane of jazz before it finally burst, and even his classic works had their flaws. Keeping that in mind, this disc might not be a bad place for a neophyte Miles fan to start. There's no debating this was one of the stellar lineups in all of jazz: Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and of course Miles himself. All the signature tracks from that period are here, but what's surprising is how few of them Miles himself wrote. The complicated "E.S.P.", the track that basically ushered in this era (and not surprisingly the first song on this compilation), was written by Wayne Shorter, at that time a young prodigy (as were virtually all the members of the band). Ditto for the innovative "Nefertiti" and the dramatic "Masqualero." Meanwhile, such tracks as Tony Williams's "Hand Jive" and Hancock's "Riot" pointed the way to the Zen-like octagonal composition that they'd both become famous for in later years. This disc gives a good glimpse of the years when those ideas were forming. To those who followed, the Miles Davis Quintet led the way. --Joe S. Harrington

Evidence for the Great Debate.......2006-06-08

Which is the "gold standard"? Miles' first quintet with Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones (and, on certain occasions, Julian Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, and Jimmy Cobb)? Or the 2nd quintet with Shorter, Carter, Williams and Hancock? Your answer to that question might depend on the degree to which you relate to the standards in the American Songbook, the material from which the first quintet drew heavily for its repertory. Even when performing a song like "Stella by Starlight," the 2nd quintet abstracted the song, referencing no more than a phrase or two, and even then very obliquely (there are no standards on the present collection).

One thing is inarguable: both quintets deserve, in fact practically require, the close attention of anyone who values this indigenous American art form. If you suspect you're less engaged by the 2nd quintet than the first, or are leaning toward the 2nd but are reluctant to simply dive in, then this anthology is the perfect means of testing the waters. The following seminal sides are represented: ESP, Miles Smiles, The Sorcerer, Nefertiti, and the Complete Columbia Studio Recordings. The disk contains a 16-page booklet and approximately 70 minutes of telepathic, synchronistic music-making, making it one of the best values (in both new and used editions) on Amazon.

Compilation Discs are Tricky.......2005-10-02

The music of Miles Davis's second great quintet represented by the albums E.S.P, Miles Miles, Scorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky and Filles de Kilimanjero are not only extraordinary recordings, they are quite unlike anything else in recorded jazz.

When it comes to choosing a compliation from this amazing body of work, it's so hard because it's so subjective.

Although I give high marks to all of this music, it would not be my personal preference for a "perfect" compilation. I feel there needs to be more ballads - softer music to counter the harder (both are beautiful; balanced they are magnificent).

So here's another subjective compilation. If you have all the above CDs, you may mix and burn as I do to create new CDs that you can enjoy in a new way that doesn't replace, but augments the originals. Nothing from Filles as that CD really stands alone and the style is quite different than the first five.

Only leaves you dumbfounded and wanting MORE!.......2005-01-30

Got this at Borders last night and LOVED IT! I would've liked more tracks but what we have here is just a taste of their greatness that, like I said in the title, only leaves you wanting more and this will probably make you want to buy the three Columbia box sets which are the Complete Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet 1965-'68, Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965(which is one of the best live jazz recordings of them all) and the Complete In a Silent Way Sessions(some of the material on that set has the quintet before they left)Some of the best songs on this are Eighty One, a slow classy blues song and Nefertiti. I love the melody on Nefertiti. It weaves in and out with excellent playing all around, especially Wayne and Miles. The Miles Davis Quintet which only lasted from late 1964 to the spring of 1968 influenced almost a generation of jazz and ranks up there with the Dave Brubeck Quartet, the John Coltrane Quartet, Louis Armstrong and his Hot 5 and Hot 7, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messingers,and the Miles Davis Sextet.

Took a little listening to enjoy.......2004-01-25

When I first listened to this disc, I was put off by its lack of melody. "Nefertiti" has a repeating motif (repeating too often, actually), and "Masqualero" has a melody. The rest seems like open jamming on a chord pattern.

With Miles, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock, repeated listening to the playing and soloing pulls you in, and every note eventually becomes memorable. It gets to the point where you wouldn't want to change a note.

I wasn't familiar with the songs before I got this disc, a veteran Davi listener may have a different reaction.

I've got this album as an old vinyl here in Brazil.It was not a good copy indeed, but the music is fantastic. It was my first Jazz album, and I simply love it. As a humble Jazz fan - not a specialist - I would call this album "The Pre-birth of The Cool", for although it may be just to be considered a Charlie Parker's, you can feel a Miles Davis' mood in all songs. I also love the performance of the drums, specially Max Roach's part in "Scrapple from the Apple". I would be very happy to have lived in NY in 1946-47!
