This is the single must have record for any jazz collection. Arguably the best Miles Davis record, (its not much of an argument for this particular listener) but certainly the most unique of Miles' work. Released in 1960 its a record on a grand scale with grand compositions and arrangements. There is just a ton going on. Its not one of the most improvisational records that we are accustomed to hear from Miles, like I said its got a lot more arrangement and composition to it and you can hear it right away in the first track. Although there are certainly the low points of certain songs where Mr. Davis goes off with his trumpet and does his own thing for a few minutes. All in all an incredible record, it was voted 356 on Rolling Stones top 500 albums off all time which I think was the highest rated jazz record.
