NEW LP
New sealed copy.
The Best Of Miles Davis is a 2026 compilation from Miles Davis, released by Craft Recordings to mark the centennial of his birth. Rather than attempting to cover his entire career, it focuses specifically on the period between 1956 and 1961, widely regarded as one of his most influential stretches.
Drawing from sessions that produced albums like Workin’, Cookin’, Steamin’, and Relaxin’, the compilation highlights Davis in a small group setting, backed by musicians who helped define the sound of modern jazz. The selections reflect a balance between standards and reinterpretations, including “‘Round Midnight,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “Just Squeeze Me (But Don’t Tease Me).”
As an entry point, it is deliberately concise. It captures the clarity, restraint, and phrasing that defined Davis during this era, offering a focused introduction rather than a comprehensive overview of his catalog.
