Miles Davis

What is there left to be said about this album? It is (probably) one of the most pressed and reissued of all-time, and for good reason - it set a new standard for jazz and appeared to both hardcore lovers of the genre as well as those with only a passing interest.

No matter your view of jazz, it is hard not to be moved by the feathery drums and wandering bass of opener 'So What', or the expressive horns of 'Freddie Freeloader' over nimble piano fingers that dance so delicately about the keys. 'All Blues' is a study in melancholy and 'Flamenco Sketches' brings a hint of South American sunshine into this most moving and intimate of jazz records.
