Miles Davis - Milestones

Facts Miles Davis' classic album 'Milestones' + 3 bonus tracks, includes 28-page booklet with specially prepared liner notes by the Penguin Guide to Jazz writer, Brian Morton. "It is, put simply, one of the very greatest modern jazz albums. Play it back-to-back with the fabled 'Kind of Blue' and to an entirely unprejudiced audience, if you can find one, and it yields not a whit in quality or musical depth. Miles was beginning to explore the deeper implications of modality, which freed jazz from the tyranny, as it had begun to seem, of harmonic "changes." - Penguin Guide To Jazz "Milestones is a revealing title! In addition to a clever pun on a first name that is enough to recognize the monumental trumpeter, it also says a lot about what this essential album represents: a milestone, a decisive step in a journey of which he was about to reach one of it's peaks." - Jazz Magazine
