hi : )
i've been listening to Miles Davis pretty often lately... i have Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew, which are both brillant (i'm even tempted to say "perfect") and which i love, and the soundtrack for Ascenceur pour l'échafaud, which has some really good tracks on it but is in my opinion flawed by its "structure" (often having two or three takes of the same track one after the other).
i've been meaning to get another album by him; maybe Agharta, Live-Evil or Big Fun, but his discography is so huge..!
do you have any particular advice/what are your favourite albums by him? (i saw that Black Magus was pretty popular here, sounding almost like idm music...)

oh and if you like that and Bitches Brew you have to hear the first Mahavishnu Orchestra album, The Inner Mounting Flame. It is ecstasy.

Both Mahavishnu and Miles are great! Great stuff, indeed!
I bought Kind of Blue to my father, haven't heard his opinion on it yet, though.
Fleetmouse, you wouldn't perhaps know of other"jazz-fusion"-musicians one ought to look for? Actually I was going to write a topic on the matter in due time. :)
(... Damn, I was about to ask what you people think of a certain song, but I can't find neither the songtitle, nor the album, and amazon.com is of no help either.)

I have the same two albums you have, along with lots of downloads. I love both of them, although for some reason "Kind of Blue" isn't quite as enjoyable for me as it used to be.

I could've sworn I had at least two davis albums, but I can't find them anywhere
I've seen quite a few vinyls at the local store, though, so this is a problem I can easily fix.

while bitches brew may be the end all be all masterpiece from that era of miles' playing, i kind of prefer the jack johnson album....there's also a newer box set that has all the shows from what eventually became the live evil album...the sets are killer...that early seventies miles era is one of the greatest bits of music of all time

Let me recommend "Nefertiti", a classic hard-bop sound from the second Miles quintet.
