This single disc does a nice job of representing the best of Miles'
early years as a bandleader with Blue Note. Backed with the talent of
such prime players as Lee Konitz, Jackie McLean and Art Blakey, these
combos really cook. From the hot bop of "Move" to the romance of
"Enigma," this is jazz with meat on its bones.
