MT Presents...

The 25th May is the birthday of my favourite artists, and arguably one of the greatest musicians ever, Miles Davis. As a way of a tribute i've put together this podcast of his work. This podcast is in no way a "Best of" Miles. Since every Miles fan will have a difference of opinion of that. Nor is it an (entirely) chronological account of his work. Instead it is a choice of tracks that i think show some of his development, from bop, through the semi classical of gil evans, to modal and then the electric and more avante garde.
I've tried to include some of the more important tracks (like Milestones, arguably the first modal track, and Bitches Brew) and of course finished off with the track that i think is quite possibly the best of his cannon, and maybe even one of the best songs ever recorded.

Anyway enough for now here's my Miles-Cast: A tribute to Miles Davis
