MILES AHEAD / BLUE MOODS

Description:
The complete original album miles ahead, Miles' first collaboration with the Gil Evans Orchestra and probably the best. As a bonus, we include another complete album, blue moods, an introspective LP made by miles in 1955 with a quintet featuring Charles Mingus and Elvin Jones. Although Miles Ahead was Miles Davis' first recording with the Gil Evans Orchestra, it was certainly not Evans and Davis' first collaboration. They had known and respected each other since the mid forties and in 1948 49 they were the two primary architects behind the Birth of the Cool, with respect to both the perennial nonet album and the "cool" sound which became associated with it and which developed into a new jazz style. Gil and Miles' 1948 49 recordings both in the studio and broadcasted live from the Royal Roost in New York are among the true jewels of jazz history. The same can be said about Miles Ahead, a completely refined product in which the arrangements, the repertoire and the mood of every improvisation were carefully selected. This edition utilizes the original album cover, not frequently seen because Miles himself ordered it changed after the initial print.
