One of Miles Davis’ earliest recording sessions. The very first known instance of the famed trumpeter playing in an “open” style, and in a band with legendary tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons and drummer Art Blakey. Need any more be said? Very few jazz albums possess more historical import and wow-inspiring significance than Bopping the Blues, which documents a 1946 session in which Davis supported a group and two singers, Earl Coleman and Ann Baker, in a splendid bop affair. Yes, it’s got that elusive Holy Grail quality.

Miles Davis and crew were some of the most innovative thinkers in modern music.
Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis, it's an album that towers above its peers, a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. Why does Kind of Blue posses such a mystique?
In Sketches from Spain, the two have gone on to challenge themselves even further from their other records. A brooding, dramatic Spanish sound and feeling pervades all the works on this record. Davis, I believe, has rarely if ever soloed with such concentration of emotion as in several sections of this album.
The third and final of the great Miles Davis-Gil Evans collaborations of 1957-59 was also their most ambitious.
All of the stylistic elements that made Miles Davis’ 1956 quintet one of the immortal bands in jazz history are on display in this collection.
