Working with arranger Gil Evans for the first time since Birth Of The Cool, Davis created a set of lush, lyrical recordings backed by a 19-piece band. It's about as arranged as jazz can get (Miles plays the record's only improvisations), and formed the beginning of a very successful partnership. The album consists of ten short tracks linked by segues or transitions; it's hard for me to evaluate the originality of what Davis and Evans are doing here, because I'm not familiar enough with Duke Ellington's work (Dave Brubeck's salute to him, "The Duke" is included here). Evans' "Blues For Pablo" presages the Sketches of Spain album, shifting back and forth between Spanish-tinged and straight blues sections. The whole project is impeccably rendered, but for me the arrangements are so much in the foreground they overshadow the compositions themselves, and Davis's solos. But I have a strong small-combo bias: if you're into orchestrated jazz this is the top of the line. (DBW)

Album cover
Miles was reportedly unhappy about the album's original cover, which featured a photo of a young white woman aboard a sailboat. He made his displeasure known to Columbia executive George Avakian, asking, "Why'd you put that white bitch on there?"[3] Avakian later stated that the question was made in jest. For later releases of the record, the original cover-photo has been substituted by a photo of Miles Davis.
