Miles Davis -The Essential Miles Davis

Here is unquestionably the finest, and easily the most panoramic, Miles Davis mini-retrospective ever assembled. For the first time, a 2-disc set surveys the entirety of the continously innovative trumpeter-bandleader's monumental recording career, drawing from the catalogues of four of the labels for which he did his most significant work. Thus, the package begins in 1945, when a 20-year-old Davis, who had arrived in New York two years earlier to study at the prestigious Julliard School of Music, was on the bandstand with modern jazz fountainhead Charlie Parker, and concludes in 1984, his Harmon-muted horn still the very essence of lonely lyricism. The singular sound of Miles Davis...absolutely immortal.

Compilation album includes Nefertiti, 'Round Midnight, Black Satin and more from the catalog of the iconic jazz musician Miles Davis.
