Davis, Miles Essential Miles Davis Columbia vinyl record Best Price

2×12″ LP Sealed
Miles Davis is essentially synonymous with jazz, and while there’s never been a time the great man’s been out of fashion, the recent Miles Ahead movie has introduced his plangent horn to a whole new audience. Here is unquestionably the finest, and easily the most panoramic, Miles Davis mini-retrospective ever assembled. For the first time, a two disc set surveys the entirity of the continuously innovative trumpeter-bandleader’s monumental recording career, drawing from the catalogues of four of the labels for which he did his most significant work. Thus, the package begins in 1945, when a 20-year old Davis, who had arrived in New York two years earlier to study at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music, was on the bandstand with modern jazz fountainhead Charlie Parker, and concludes in 1984, his Harmon-muted horn still the very essence of lonely lyricism. The singular sound of Miles Davis…absolutely immortal.
