My Next Miles Davis Disc?

Very simple. If you liked Kind of Blue, you'll love these:
Cookin'
Steamin'
Milestones
Miles
Relaxin'
These are all with the Miles Davis Quintet. Serious jazz. The sky is the limit from here, but I just gave you some Miles. The post suggesting Cannonall Adderley's, Something Else is dead on. While on the subject of Cannonball Adderley, try Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago. Your post is going to generate some good stuff. This, here, is some user friendly Miles Davis. Very friendly.

Chris, check out either "My Funny Valentine" (Live at Lincoln Center), or "4+more" (Live at Lincoln Center) - they have been put together in a 2 cd set as well (If you use such things). Both are from a concert Miles did (one record for each set) for free to raise money for C.O.R.E and the fight for ratial equality in the 60's; and it is one serious show! Increadible soundstage, KOB quality, and the music is SERIOUS! Ballads, up tempo,..... their version of "No Greater Love" is a benchmark. RedTrumpet.com has them on sale for 9.99(the 180grm vinyl version).

Philjolet -

Can't really explain it and I know it seems odd, but Sketches just hasn't 'absorbed' me the way that 'Silent' and 'Blue' did. I have noticed that Mark Pendergrast has listed it as his Miles choice to include in his 'Top 100 Ambient Recordings' included in the rear of his book 'The Ambient Century - which I was slightly surprised it got the nod over 'Blue'. Maybe I haven't paired 'Sketches' with the right wine yet. :-)

"Sketches" just doesn't do it for me either. Just to take you in a totally different (but still very interesting) Miles direction, I'd recommend Bitches Brew. I like the mid fifties to early 60's Miles stuff alot, but Bitches Brew is also a great piece of work.

I would reccomend "Get up with it" or "Bitches Brew" a little harder edged than "In a Silent Way" but in my opinion even better.
