Huhuru Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Miles Davis CD (Remaster) or LP "Kind Of Blue". Good start. Lots of "Trane" and Cannonball Adderly in this CD. Enjoy the music[8]. Huhuru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lindsey Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Kind of Blue started it all for me. An incredible album! Timeless today as it ever was. Cannonball on the Alto and Coltrane on the Tenor. The detail will floor you on this album. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 You are asking some good questions, but difficult ones. Both these artists went through different styles as they evolved. So depending which style one likes, you can get very different answers. My suggestion would be to try "Kind of Blue" & "Sketches of Spain" for Miles Davis. The first is an absolute classic and has been nicely re-mastered for CD. These two will also show two very different kinds of sound from Miles Davis. For John Coltrane, I would suggest "Giant Steps" and "My Favorite Things" (these have mostly shorter cuts and can be more accessible for the new listener). I would also suggest "A Love Supreme". This later one has a different feel from the first two and it is considered by some to be his best. Most of the CDs I have just recommended are probably available at the public library if you want to demo them first. Good Luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
