If you can afford it, get the original albums! Apr 20, 2001
By J. Lund
"jazzbrat"
Every track on this CD is a gem. However, if your budget allows, either purchase the boxed set (there is virtually no filler!), or at least pick up KIND OF BLUE, 'ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT, and MILESTONES (the three albums that comprise nearly all of the tracks on this compilation). These Miles Davis CDs maintain a standard of brilliance from the first note to the last...why settle for anything less? THE BEST OF... is recommended if you really feel a one-disc sampling of this period is sufficient, although it's difficult to imagine buying this and not wanting more!

Selected Recordings of Sheer Brilliance! Apr 25, 2001
By Peter Harrison
If you're new to Jazz, you need to own this CD as a great introductory primer to the art. If you're an old hand at Jazz, you need to own this CD to remind you really quickly just how great this art is....in case you've forgotten. Definitely worth picking up for the wonderful packaging, awesome liner notes, and great mastering. But most of all- for the magic of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, et al! This music makes you feel good to be alive! Highly recommended.

Outstanding (in the eyes of 15 year old jazz fanatic) Dec 28, 2001
By Jonathan Colby
In a world of overpriced and mediocre music, Best of Miles Davis and John Coltrane is a shining light. Although I recommend the full set titled Miles Davis and John Coltrane: The Complete Columbia Recordings, a less expensive but still extroadinary album can be found in this product. This collection features the most outstanding Trane solo on Someday My Prince Will Come, exceptional lyricism on Round Midnight and blazingly fast excitement on tracks such the rare alternate take of Sraight, No Chaser, a true American anthem. Keep yourself groovin' on the way to work with Best of Miles and John

The best Miles Davis collection. Jul 18, 2005
By finulanu
""the mysterious""
Miles Davis and John Coltrane, musically, were made for each other. One already a legend, the other soon-to-be, this is a heckuva pair. Add Cannonball Aderly, Philly Joe Jones, Red Garland and Paul Chambers and you have the best ensemble jazz ever saw. Plus we get half 'Round About Midnight and Milestones, as well as works of jazz expertise So What, Blue in Green, and Someday My Prince Will Come. Let's also not forget Straight, No Chaser, Milestones, 'Round Midnight and Bye Bye Blackbird. Buy it today.

Mighty fine Aug 19, 2001
By S CORBETT
I'm not one to usually endorse "best of" or "essential" collections as they are usually marketing ploys designed to get consumers to part with more of their money by excluding one or two critical songs. And that's certainly the case here, but guess what? I don't care. The music is so sublime, I can almost forgive the marketing execs who compiled these tunes because what Miles Davis and John Coltrane created was immortal music, and these nine tracks more than demonstrate that fact. I mean, who do they think they're kidding? The audio CD format would have certainly permitted the inclusion of "All Of You," "On Green Dolphin Street," "Stella By Starlight," "All Blues," and Teo." But I don't really need those to appreciate this CD. It stands alone. In other words, the suits at Sony succeeded in spite of themselves.

Originally released in 1959, Miles Davis's magnum opus Kind of Blue is still considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Starring Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, Kind of Blue has held onto its status as an album that crosses genres, speaks to generations, and is one of the first (if not the first) album that any new jazz acolyte purchases.

The event was simply billed as "Willie Nelson Sings the Blues," but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that was equal parts down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy. To say that these shows were a hot ticket would be an understatement. Luckily, the tapes were rolling and the results of this unique collaboration now constitute the Blue Note album Two Men With The Blues for everyone who couldn't cram into The Allen Room.
