Miles Ahead (1957) marks the start of Miles' collaboration with Gil Evans, orchestra arranger and conductor whose combined forces also yielded Sketches Of Spain [MOVLP692] and Porgy & Bess [MOVLP690].
In a time where Big Bands were no longer fashionable, the duo forged their own path anyway and put a 19-piece band behind Davis. The ballads "Miles Ahead'' and "Blues for Pablo" showcase Miles's sensitive side, which shines through fully on these songs in particular.
