Miles Davis

• 5 stars all music gUIDE

CONTAINS NEW SPECIALLY PREPARED LINER NOTES BY PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ'S WRITER BRIAN MORTON AND BY PARIS' PRESTIGIOUS JAZZ MAGAZINE

"Positioned after his earopening trip to Paris, with a well-again John Coltrane and the buoyant Cannonball Adderley in the group, Miles’ men were already beyond the foothills of greatness. Milestones may never overtake Kind of Blue in public affection, but nor does it perish in its shade." Penguin Guide to Jazz

"The leader is flamboyant throughout, at times lyrical and passionate, while at others he appears to surf unhindered over the fastest tempos. What immense happiness!" - Jazz Magazine
