Miles Davis & Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings

Gil Evans, the great arranger, had fallen in love with Miles Davis's haunting and melancholy, yet terribly seductive sound. He would craft a series of impeccable arrangements which were tailored to this unique sound. These recordings would take their place among the most important collaborations in all of music. Among them, the timeless masterpieces Sketches Of Spain, Porgy & Bess, and Miles Ahead.
