Miles Davis
Before I start, I should make it clear that I think a ‘Miles Davis’ Greatest Hits’ CD is a ludicrous idea. His career has gone through so many different stages that any greatest hits collection is bound to suffer from lack of continuity. Besides, each of his classic stages are already represented by albums that should be owned outright, and not excerpted (Birth of the Cool, Walkin’, Kind of Blue, Miles Smiles, Bitches Brew).
Nevertheless, some people might appreciate hearing a few highlights back to back, and the Ken Burns disk certainly makes for great listening. If you’re a Miles freak, this is extraneous, but if you want to get a fair overview, this disk is a great place to dive in.
