The whole 20CD box? I was actually sent a promo copy of that thing when it came out. The record business used to be really something.

Been listening to some Mike Stern and John Scofield and for as much as I have heard Miles Davis, I really have not listened to any of the post 74 stuff at all. There is quite a bit of good video of his later groups online.

That box was what really sold me on his 80s work. Those bands killed it onstage. I talked a lot about that in my book.

I was not an ILXor when this was initially polled, but this would have been a difficult choice between Aura and Amandla. Star People also worthy of consideration.

Miles Davis' first comeback record finds the trumpeter a bit shaky (he would improve album by album during the next few years) and has a few poppish throwaway tracks; it is doubtful if anyone really remembers the title cut or "Shout." But with Bill Evans on soprano and electric bassist Marcus Miller, the other four selections are more rewarding with Davis forming the nucleus of his new band.
thx, brad. i absolutely love it when scott yanow gets proven wrong. what a fucking prick.

man with the horn was the first '80s miles record i heard and thus my first time realizing that a lot of ppl were full of shit about '80s miles. still think its rep is way too negative

Ha; he said the exact same shit about Decoy:
There are some moments of interest (Branford Marsalis is heard on some cuts on soprano), but it is doubtful if anyone will be reviving "Robot 415," "Freaky Deaky," or "Code M.D." anytime soon.

i generally have nothing but respect for any professional critic, but scott yanow is genuinely a dick, so fuck him.
