Customer Reviews The 6th of 8 boxes Jazz-fusion at it's best. Released in 2003 , this is the 6th of the 8 boxes covering Miles' Columbia recording output. The 7th box chronologically. You have the others , you love the others , you'll love this too. Lots of unreleased material that explains why one album was so darned important!. i thank the boxers for this one i'm not a big fan of rock, and the heavy repetitive beat was marketed for giant speakers pulsating the music at full volume in some car where the passengers couldn't hear themselves speak or hear the music. when i bought a tribute to jack johnson on vinyl i didn't like the music. with repeated listening over the years the music kind of grew on me. i was curious about the sessions, and some reviewers said it was probably one of the better compiled box sets. then there was my other complaint: the numerous takes. the sessions turned out to be a really good collection of music, containing more playing by miles davis than the tribute did, and most of his playing is melodic instead of brooding and searching. and, something i never believed i would say, all of the retakes are worth a listen. ali is a stellar composition. maybe i missed it on another recording. if this was its first release, then i'm amazed it was kept under wraps so long. mmmm Before miles went fully into fusion, this "jazz-rock" is quite exquisite. this is john mclaughlin and mils davis at their finest. SUPERB!. . You can see a complete list of all Miles Davis discography, or go back to the Miles Davis tabs
