Review

Entertainment Weekly (4/21/00, p.79) - "...Enthralling....Its deceptively relaxed, visionary cool has a power that still captivates and sells....a worthy epic." - Rating: A
Q (4/00, p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[these] sessions found them blossoming. Everybody loves 'Kind Of Blue', but there were several masterpieces made on either side of the sessions....It's all here at last, along with 90 minutes of previously unreleased music..."
Alternative Press (5/00, pp.82-4) - 5 out of 5 - "...A stunning testament to these 2 masters of jazz....their collaborations are about as exciting as post-bop jazz gets."
CMJ (5/8/00, p.29) - "...A meeting of 2 jazz giants. Davis' wry, lyrical style found the perfect counterpoint in Coltrane's prodigious, fiery playing..."
Down Beat (8/00, p.82) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...Offers ample opportunity to study the development of not only these 2 giants but the great sidemen who were to join Coltrane behind Davis over the years..."

THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA RECORDINGS won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Boxed Recording Package. The set also won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.

This massive set is the first in a series of Columbia boxed collections of the many periods in the career of Miles Davis. It encompasses the first great quintet, which included John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, and the subsequent sextet with Cannonball Adderley, Wynton Kelly or Bill Evans, and Jimmy Cobb. Covering what is for some the most fruitful of the Davis eras, it features such classics as "Round Midnight," "Someday My Prince Will Come," "Bye Bye Blackbird," and the entire KIND OF BLUE album.

While many may already own these essential recordings, it's the included extras that make this set so enticing--over the course of the six discs, 18 tracks have never before been issued. Most of these include alternate takes and trial runs of the golden cuts that any Miles Davis fan knows by heart, often with drastic changes in tempo and direction. Also included are a few behind-the-scenes studio discussions, including one between Davis and Leonard Bernstein. Finally, for the aficionado, the tremendous packaging that is this series' trademark serves as an excellent accompaniment to the musical treasures it contains.
