Just a quick note here on this last album from my weekends listening while I worked. This excellent and interesting compilation of a large mix of many musicians doing excellent versions of Miles Davis pieces from across the large spectrum of his career with an Indian slant.Imagine Miles reinterpreted with tabula and sitar and Indian style vocals, as well as some great Keith Jarrett Style piano and plenty of fusion guitar noodling among other things. This double disc set holds up very well throughout and only looses the plot for me on a couple of the extended pieces where there isn't much flow to the music and it seems to loose it's self for a time. Overall. the playing is suburb and the music stays interesting and I strongly suggest purchasing this to any Davis Fan. My rating 4/5
