What's The Coli's favorite Miles Davis album?

[str8up]

Did a thread similar to this on Stevie a couple months back (https://www.thecoli.com/threads/whats-the-colis-favorite-stevie-wonder-album.611261/) and was curious to see how y'all feel about some other artists out here.

If y'all interested too I might keep it going.


I think I know what will win this one but still interested.

My pick is Get Up With It

 

[JadeB]

It's In A Silent Way or the highway though bytches Brew was fire too

 

[UpAndComing]

Birth of the Cool


The sound of early Bebop Jazz, so refreshing and busy


bytches Brew is a close second, it sounds like a rainy slow night type of album

It's In A Silent Way or the highway:foh: though bytches Brew was fire too :sohh:

In a Silent Way is really the start of Miles at his absolute best.

Wasn't sure if I should list that or not, great choice though. Round About Midnight and Milestones are fantastic too.

Big fan of Hard Bop, Art Blakey's Moanin is my favorite Jazz album of all time.

Early Bebop and Hard Bop are probably my favorite type of Jazz. It has that more "stripped away and bare" feeling

What do you think? Whats your favorite type of jazz?

Kind of Blue opened jazz for me in a way no other record could. My jazz collection is pretty damn serious, and I owe it to Kind of Blue. My Coli name is a jazz tune by Clifford Brown that I would have never known if not for Kind of Blue.

Sketches of Spain is pretty good too. Highly recommend Coltrane's Ole which is similar if you like Sketches of Spain.

Would probably have to agree with you on Hard Bop, stretching out the tempo let everyone shine with all the gaps in the music (best era for drummers imo). And it seems like everything that was coming out was heat, too many quality albums.


I really enjoy a lot of avant-garde shyt too around that time like Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Mingus, and of course Coltrane. Trane's bebop shyt was good but A Love Supreme and Ascension shyt on all his other albums.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Kind of blue

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

bytches Brew

 

[Address_Unknown]

Searched for this album off the strength of this song way back when I started listening to Madlib/Quasimodo and sad combing through his Jazz Album recommendations and fell in love with it.

Truthfully I ain't listened to no other album by Miles in it's entirety like this one, but I'm sure I'd rate this my fave cause it's that damned good a record.

 

[THE K-MAN]

Birth of the Cool

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Kind of Blue. I've heard birth of the cool, round about midnight, sketches of Spain, bytches brew and kind of blue. The others I haven't heard. The pianist on Kind of Blue puts it over the top for me. I can't remember his name right now.

I think it was Bill Evans. Got a few of his albums. I get to drinking at night and listen to him.......man. Melancholy, suicidal, in love, etc.. He was good.


Digital. Copping a record player and purchasing vinyl has been on my mind though. For now I'm content with headphones.
