Miles Davis Newbe Question


I recently purchased a CD by Miles Davis titled "Love Songs".
This is the first Miles Davis music I have purchased. What would be some recommendations as to some of his best material. Thanks very much for any feedback!

Orpheus10...
Thanks for reading...wow...does it get any better than Clifford...
When I hear some of the Alto players (I played and tried, operative word tried, to play like Charlie...) of that era, I'm amazed at the talent level...it was a Golden Era...people who don't listen to that genre and era are really missing out.

You are in my inner circle of 'Those with undeniable Taste!!', lol.

There never has been, and there never will be another "Bird". His music is "current" always and forever.
Orpheus10,
Cannonball is a little less (if any) bebop...and a little more, only stylistically, to my taste.
His album with Nancy Wilson, is a treasure that I've turned tons of folks on to.
His rendition of 'Can't Get Started' is another 'Gold Standard'.

Larry
Do you have "Charley Parker With Strings", it's timeless. "Bebop" is kind of a mood thing, and while it illustrates the virtuosity of "Bird" it came and it went.

That album is a treasure to me as well
Yes, and the one I mentioned is his whole (most anyway) collection.

Charlie Parker is a freakishly good player, whose 'licks', 'phrasings' are still copied and emulated some 50 odd years later.

You'd like my collection Orpheus10.
