Some of the most important jazz ever recorded is gathered in one place with The Classic Albums Collection, a CD edition bringing together nine Miles Davis albums from the 1950s and 1960.

The set follows Miles from his early 1950s small-group dates through to the landmark records that redefined jazz at the end of the decade. Along the way come Bags' Groove, Walkin', Relaxin', Milestones, the moody soundtrack Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud, Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain. It is a remarkable span, tracing his move from bebop roots toward modal jazz and lush orchestral collaboration.

"Walkin'" swings with a bluesy, hard bop strut that set the tone for the decade, while "Bags' Groove" pairs Miles with vibraphonist Milt Jackson for a relaxed, elegant workout. "Milestones" points the way to modal improvisation, and "So What" from Kind of Blue remains perhaps the most famous opening in jazz, its cool bass figure and two-chord answer instantly recognisable.

Throughout, the trumpet tone is unmistakable, spare and lyrical, saying more with a few notes than most players manage in a chorus.

For newcomers wanting a foundation or longtime fans seeking these classics side by side, this set is an easy and richly rewarding way to spend time with a true giant.
