The best Miles Davis collection. July 18, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Miles Davis and John Coltrane, musically, were made for each other. One already a legend, the other soon-to-be, this is a heckuva pair. Add Cannonball Aderly, Philly Joe Jones, Red Garland and Paul Chambers and you have the best ensemble jazz ever saw. Plus we get half 'Round About Midnight and Milestones, as well as works of jazz expertise So What, Blue in Green, and Someday My Prince Will Come. Let's also not forget Straight, No Chaser, Milestones, 'Round Midnight and Bye Bye Blackbird. Buy it today.

There are just certain times after midnight that nothing else will do but a Miles and Coltrane mixer. Like scotch and soda, gin and tonic, vodka and cranberry, these two just glide together. Put some ice in the glass, mix yourself a cocktail, sit back with a companion, or by your lonesome and let the chords and groove chase your early morning blues out the door! The only glaring bump in the buzz is that their wonderfully rendered "My Funny Valentine" is not on this compilation. This is nonetheless all good/BEK
 Good but inevitably omits too much December 11, 2002

The four stars is for the desirability of the record; the tracks deserve five stars without a doubt. In fairness to the music company, it must be said that the tracks chosen are NOT "below par", and they DO give an adequate impression of some of the best music performed by this extraordinary quintet. The trouble is, however, that anyone with any serious interest in Davis's music would, if buying just this record, soon want all of the CDs from which this selection has been taken. As usual, therefore, it is not really a good idea to buy a selection, but that argument applies with the more force in this case because Davis, Coltrane, and their group left us SO MUCH of significance. So my advice is NOT to buy this if you feel you may very well want to buy more CDs of this group, and even if you haven't yet made up your mind that you will, it is, I feel, best to keep your options open from the start. - ...

Two jazz giants together, playing popular themes that everyone knows, it can't get much better! Miles and Coltrane really are great. Its great to hear them playing from GIllespie, its seriously good. I would wish that the Straight No Chaser master takes would be included, as well as Dolphin Street, because they are both essential to the master tenor sax and Miles
Outstanding (in the eyes of 15 year old jazz fanatic) December 28, 2001

In a world of overpriced and mediocre music, Best of Miles Davis and John Coltrane is a shining light. Although I recommend the full set titled Miles Davis and John Coltrane: The Complete Columbia Recordings, a less expensive but still extroadinary album can be found in this product. This collection features the most outstanding Trane solo on Someday My Prince Will Come, exceptional lyricism on Round Midnight and blazingly fast excitement on tracks such the rare alternate take of Sraight, No Chaser, a true American anthem. Keep yourself groovin' on the way to work with Best of Miles and John
