Pros: Amazing emotion, texture, diversity, and beauty... Cons: Not as well known as many other Miles Davis works...
Sketches of Spain was not the first album I thought of when it was suggested I review Miles Davis. I’m certainly familiar with the jazzman’s name and some of his more popular songs (both standards and originals), but as far as real knowledge ...
Pros: A work of genius on the part of Davis and composer-arranger Gil Evans Cons: None
Sometimes music transcends classification. Fusion, of course, complicates the attempt at
such classification. Miles Davis and Gil Evans created works the a three year period that
could be best called world music. Their first collaboration...
Pros: Classical music meets jazz in this creative hybrid. Cons: I wish the shorter pieces were further developed.

Pros: it's great music Cons: there's not that many tracks
Miles Davis was always an extrodinary artist, but this is one of his best albums. The live songs are incredible and likely to give the more-than-average music lover chills. His sound and tone are near perfect. There are a few songs from Bitch's...
