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!
I'd also recommend a live recording as well, such as, "In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, Complete". Great music, easily accessible, and terrific sonics.
Miles was a complicated artist and his career was long. If you want to learn about his music, go to Allmusic.com and do an artist search. Spend a little time checking out the discography section for a good overview of his music. I agree with Elizabeth as far as "Miles Big Three" goes. The big change in Miles music starts in the mid sixties, around the time of the album "E.S.P." He was feeling restless and wanted to make music more connected with the cultural changes going on. He morphed into a quite different musician as the sixties progressed.
do you really want to find more miles davis material or are you looking for the same type of material but by different artists. I say this because i assume, perhaps wrongly, that the song selections on this compilation probably have some very common elements where as miles as an artist went so many different ways.
