Our Take

MILES DAVIS - Milestones

Much like a fine wine or a perfectly aged cheese, Miles Davis' "Milestones" has only gotten better with time.
Released in 1958, this album showcases the iconic jazz trumpeter at the peak of his creative powers.
From the smooth, laid-back grooves of "Dr. Jekyll" to the frenetic energy of "Sids Ahead," Davis effortlessly guides listeners through a sonic journey that is both challenging and rewarding.

The combination of Davis' masterful trumpet playing and the innovative arrangements by his bandmates make "Milestones" a truly timeless classic.
Each track feels like a musical puzzle, with the musicians weaving in and out of each other's lines with precision and grace.

But what truly sets this album apart is Davis' willingness to push the boundaries of jazz, incorporating elements of modal jazz and third-stream music that were cutting-edge at the time.
It's this fearlessness that has cemented Davis' legacy as one of the greatest innovators in jazz history.

So grab yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Miles Davis take you on a musical journey that is sure to leave you feeling both inspired and exhilarated.
"Milestones" may have been released over 60 years ago, but its impact is still felt today. Miles Davis may be gone, but his music will never die.
