today's album: The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions, Miles Davis

As if the original release in 1969 weren't gift enough, in 2001, Columbia released a three volume set, which included the original album and the studio sessions that went into the making of the original.

Easily one of my favorite box sets, the style and structure far less controversial than they were in 1969.

It's the voice I most like (amongst several) of Miles' - subtle, inventive, and ironic - if notes alone can be ironic.
