Milestones

I'd probably have to put a Tribute to Jack Johnson in my top 5.

I agree.

[AJG]

Personally speaking because I'm more a fan of electric Miles.

In A Silent Way
Bitches Brew
On The Corner
Get Up With It
Big Fun

Live-Evil
Miles Davis At Fillmore: Live at the Fillmore East

[mike65]

Miles Ahead
A Kind of Blue
Filles De Kilimanjaro
In a Silent Way
Get Up with It for the best parts (though it would be a killer single album with some editing!)

[eoin_mcg]

I love the arrangements on Porgy & Bess. The work that Miles did with Gil Evans is superb.

Milestones would be up there for me too along with Kind of Blue (of course) '58 Sessions, Bitches Brew (I like the 4 cd pack of the sessions better than the original studio album)

Miles Smiles
Live at the Plugged Nickel
Someday My Prince Will Come
Kind of Blue
Cookin'/Relaxin'/Steamin'/Workin' (sorry for cheating, but they were all recorded at the same 2 sessions)

[Custardpi]

Mostly like his fusion period when he & John McLaughlin created that "far out" (as I believe the expression was at the time) sound. KOB has to be recognised for the genius album it is though too.

1. Tribute to Jack Johnson
2. Live Evil
3. Kind of Blue
4. In A Silent Way
5. Bitches Brew

With regard to the last one, has anyone heard Live At The Isle of Wight? Picked it up on vinyl a couple of years back & it has a great performance of the title track as part of the set.

There's a DVD out that has the full Isle of Wight concert on it:-

It's great stuff, although my personal favourite period is the 'second great quintet' stuff just for the fact that it took the standard 'straight-ahead' jazz genre to a whole new level.

[singlesnights]

Am I the only person who really likes the stuff he did with Marcus Miller?

[ror_74]

1. In a silent way
2. Sorcerer
3. Tutu
4. Bitches Brew
5. Miles in the sky

( needs to be a top 10 really )

( should have gone in to the top 5 )

[Setun]

Birth of the Cool (1949)
Round About Midnight (1956)
Porgy and Bess (1958)
Filles de Kilmanjaro (1967)
In a Silent Way (1968)

This list is of course subject to change, although I can never get over Tony Williams' drumming style on Filles de Kilmanjaro. Such amazing colour/texture/rhythms!
