Miles Davis Milestones
Mobile Fidelity MFSL 1-374
audiophile 180g Vinyl LP
limited numbered edition
made in USA
The only album by Miles Davis with the original sextet line-up dates from 1958. Davis played with Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and "Philly" Joe Jones. Jazz connoisseurs already recognize in this lineup the cornerstone of the later BlueNoteRecords house sound, and yet it was surprising how strong the blues influence was on this album. The album became known for the introduction of modal tunings into jazz on the namesake track, "Milestones," but they are not found on the other five tracks. The MFSL remastering sounds fresh and open and just not at all like mono as one might expect.
The 180-gram vinyl LP was remastered by Krieg Wunderlich and is relased as limited edition with consecutive serial number.
