CD Reviews

Kind of silent sketches?
Funkmeister G | 02/27/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Whilst I don't have this specific box set, I do have all 3 of the albums here [I got KOB & SOS in 1 package as well, no bonus tracks on SOS though]. Kind Of Blue is of course the greatest, most approachable jazz lp of all time etc, very listenable & memorable, highlights being So What? & All Blues. Sketches of Spain is 1 of 3 collaborations w/ Gil Evans, w/ a different sort of sound, again quite listenable. In A Silent Way is brilliant, modern jazz/fusion, the start of Miles' music getting more chaotic/out-there [up to 1975 before a big break & less interesting return]. These albums go well together & are essential [KOB is definitely anyway]. A good introduction to the Man & his music."
A superbly effective combination...

"If you're new to Miles Davis - as anyone considering buying this boxed set is likely to be - then this is just about the best "primer" you could ask for: three very different albums, each of which is readily accessible to "non-jazz" fans and all of which pay back enormous rewards from repeat listening. But... what makes this particular combination so effective is that, played side by side, these albums cogently illustrate the depth of Miles Davis' skills and the breadth of styles he explored during a long and diverse career. While those "in the know" may argue that their selection is obvious, no-one appears to have done "the obvious" before. So... praise indeed to Sony/Columbia for thinking through just how to encapsulate the talents of such a complex artist without reverting to a tired "Best of..." format. And, for first time buyers, an absolute treat."
A no brainer

"This box set offers 3 of the most diverse, influential and popular of Miles' lps. no jazz collection can be without "Kind of Blue," "In a Silent way" is the pre-cursor to ambient rock, and is my all time favorite Miles cd, and "Sketches of Spain" prove that Miles could competently play outside the jazz idiom, in an orchestral setting.These 3 lps are must own lps, folks..and you get all 3 together for less than buying all 3 seperatly. To me, this is a total no brainer..buy and cherish these lps."
