Ultimate Miles (5CD Boxset)

Deze Ultimate 5CD box van Miles Davis is een unieke collectie. Vanwege de ongekende variatie is dit een zeer smaakvolle en inzichtelijke compilatie van zijn oeuvre. In de loop der jaren zijn er veel compilaties van Miles Davis uitgebracht. De samenstellers van deze box zijn erin geslaagd om alle grote Miles Davis opnames, die zijn hele carrière overspannen, bij elkaar te brengen. Deze geven een heerlijk uitgebreid overzicht van één van de meest indrukwekkende muzikale iconen van de twintigste eeuw. Dit betekent ook dat materiaal uit de periode dat Miles opnam voor de labels Blue Note, Prestige, Fontana, Columbia en Warner op deze box aanwezig is. Dat maakt deze set erg aantrekkelijk.
