Negative Positive
Title: Essential
Review: This collection is a must- have for anyone who loves Miles or has had exposure to his more well known recordings, like 'Kind of Blue' and his Columbia discography. Discs 1-3 are in my opinion not consistently of high quality, but the early recordings of 'Four'; 'Tune-Up'; 'When Lights Are Low'and the recordings with Monk foreshadow his later brilliance and are enjoyable. Disc 4-6 represent the beginning of Miles' legend. His playing on these recordings are masterpieces. He is in such sync with Coltrane,and the precision of his band is astonishing. These are perhaps the greatest post-bop recordings of all time. If you splurge for this box set you will not be disappointed.
