Reviews

  • GOODGROOVECIRCLE's avatar
    This may be seen as a cash in because a lot of this material is available on the albums Coltrane played on when he was in Miles band.
    The tracks are also chronological so you get a bit of repitition on alternative takes. But taken as a whole, Miles Davis and John Coltrane are two of the most prominent jazz figures of the 20th century so it's a historically important document with essential music.
