Our Take

Ah, Miles Davis, the man, the myth, the legend. Miles Ahead is a gatefold packaging masterpiece that will have you grooving like a hipster in a jazz cafe. Photographs by William Claxton add a touch of class to this already timeless album.

From the moment the needle drops on side A, you are transported to a smokey club filled with cool cats and smooth vibes. Miles' trumpet playing is like butter melting in your ears, smooth and delicious.

The arrangements on this album are pure magic, with every note being played with precision and passion. The chemistry between Miles and his band is palpable, creating a sonic landscape that is truly mesmerising.

Tracks like "Springsville" and "The Maids of Cadiz" showcase Miles' ability to take the listener on a musical journey, with each note painting a vivid picture in your mind.

Overall, Miles Ahead is a must-have for any jazz lover. It's a timeless classic that will have you coming back for more. So grab a glass of your favourite whisky, put on your best smoking jacket, and let Miles Davis take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers to the legend himself.

About the artist

Miles Davis

MILES DAVIS: The Jazz Maverick With his smooth trumpet melodies and innovative approach to music, Miles Davis has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz. Born in 1926 in Illinois, Davis began his musical journey at a young age, studying at the Juilliard School in New York City before launching his illustrious career. Known for his cool demeanor and distinct sound, Davis quickly rose to fame in the 1950s and 60s with albums like "Kind of Blue" and "Bitches Brew." His experimental style, blending elements of classical, rock, and funk with jazz, pushed the boundaries of the genre and earned him a legion of devoted fans. Davis was not one to shy away from controversy, whether it was his bold fashion choices or his willingness to collaborate with artists from all walks of life. He was a trendsetter in every sense of the word, constantly pushing the envelope and challenging the status quo. Despite his tumultuous personal life and battles with addiction, Davis continued to create music that resonated with audiences around the world. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography and the countless musicians he influenced along the way. Miles Davis may have left us in 1991, but his music remains as timeless and relevant as ever. He was a true visionary in every sense of the word, and his impact on the world of music will never be forgotten. Raise a glass to the jazz maverick, Miles Davis.
