I had The Man with the Horn (my first Miles album), We Want Miles (2nd one), and Bitches Brew. This was the fourth one (and the last one I would buy on vinyl). I had them in high school, and while I played the others, I hardly ever played ...             Best of Miles Davis & John Coltrane Miles Davis & John Coltrane Sony, 2001 Certain Times There are just certain times after midnight that nothing else will do but a Miles and Coltrane mixer.

You will gain such an appreciation for the music that's being played. Watch out for the guy ...             Milestones Miles Davis Sony, 2001 Kind of Wild- Jazz doesn't get much more exciting Hot Jazz; If you are looking for a second "Kind of Blue" album , then "Milestones" will disappoint. Also, if you are looking for some nice background jazz music while you have your dinner party this is probably not the album for you.
