A Digital Resource and Guide to the Official Catalog of a Jazz God: Miles Davis

With Understanding Comes Appreciation


To put it simple for those who are not familiar with the musician and his music, Miles Davis is a Jazz God, period. There’s a reason —or many, I would say— he’s at my top 3 of my book along with Frank Zappa and John Zorn. He was cut with the same scissors Frank and John were cut. He was prolific, demanding bandleader, extraordinary talent recruiter & developer, composer, perfectionist, natural at the instrument, boundary-pusher, with uncompromising talent and strict work-ethic, and I could go on and on, and the adjectives just wouldn’t be enough. An enigma who started with Charlie Parker, shocking the establishment with be-bop, but whose hero was Louis Armstrong; then takin' off for places unknown with sidemen and today’s legends like John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and John McLaughlin to name a few. In the process, he created whole new jazz forms: cool, contemporary and fusion. Yet, through everything he created, Davis was the singular image of the true artist —like Picasso, sketching here, workin' and steamin' there, and defying the listener and critic alike. A feat which has given many modern jazz artists the courage to do their own thing. Again, just like Frank and John.


Miles Davis made music that grew from an uncanny talent to hear the future and a headstrong desire to play it. From his beginnings in the circle of modern jazz, he came to intuit new worlds of sound and challenge. While the vast majority of musicians – jazz, rock, R&B, otherwise – find the experimental charge and imperviousness of youth eventually running down, Miles forever forged ahead. In doing so, Miles became the standard bearer for successive generations of musicians, shaped the course of modern improvisational music more than a half-dozen times.


A monumental innovator, icon, and maverick, trumpeter Miles Davis helped define the course of jazz as well as popular culture in the 20th century, bridging the gap between bebop, modal music, funk, and fusion. Throughout most of his 50-year career, Davis played the trumpet in a lyrical, introspective style, often employing a stemless Harmon mute to make his sound more personal and intimate. It was a style that, along with his brooding stage persona, earned him the nickname "Prince of Darkness."


However, Davis proved to be a dazzlingly protean artist, moving into fiery modal jazz in the '60s and electrified funk and fusion in the '70s, drenching his trumpet in wah-wah pedal effects along the way. More than any other figure in jazz, Davis helped establish the direction of the genre with a steady stream of boundary-pushing recordings, among them 1957's chamber jazz album Birth of the Cool (which collected recordings from 1949-1950), 1959's modal masterpiece Kind of Blue, 1960's orchestral album Sketches of Spain, and 1970's landmark fusion recording Bitches Brew. Davis' own playing was obviously at the forefront of those changes, but he also distinguished himself as a bandleader, regularly surrounding himself with sidemen and collaborators who likewise moved in new directions, including the luminaries John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, and many more. While he remains one of the most referenced figures in jazz, a major touchstone for generations of trumpeters (including Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, and Nicholas Payton), his music reaches far beyond the jazz tradition, and can be heard in the genre-bending approach of performers across the musical spectrum, ranging from funk and pop to rock, electronica, hip-hop, and more.


Now that I got your attention, this post was made as a digital resource (access to public customized playlists) and guide to understand and appreciate bit better the official catalog of Miles Davis, which at times is not easy how to dive into it, specially for newbies, casual listeners and even some more familiarized fans, whose appetite to explore and listen to more never cease.


First things first. While out there are tons of recordings of the music of our beloved Jazz hero, this post only considers the official catalog which is still colosal —check out the milestones below and you’ll figure out. I have divided the catalog in five main categories; Studio Albums, Live Albums, Collaboration/Sideman Albums, Soundtracks and Boxset/Compilations/Series. I’m also sharing the public playlists I assembled manually on Apple Music (Why Apple Music?) of each category, and a playlist which gathers the five categories; i.e the whole official catalog. The latter will save you days if not weeks of manual assembling, trust me. Also, I’ll keep dissecting the catalog in order to create more detailed and cool customized/smart playlists, so follow this post and subscribe to my blog to stay tuned.


Each album shows some key information like the year of release, year of recording, label record, released formats and its best digital resolution available on Apple Music —it applies to most streaming platforms which offer lossless music though. It’s worth to mention that while most albums are available in its streaming service, some are only available through compilations, specially those recorded by Prestige and Blue Note Records from 1951 to 1961. The good news is that those complications come in Hi-Res Lossless, so the sound quality is guaranteed, specially when you consider that those albums were recorded almost 75 years ago! When the latter is the case, I also indicate in which compilation and disk can be found.


While most of the official catalog is available in its service, I’m also indicating which albums are not available for streaming, so if you are interested to add them as well, you either have to upload them from your own CDs/digital files or buy them. I’m also suggesting those compilations and posthumous albums that are redundant. Tip: those albums don’t worth to be added to your library —obviously in case you already added what I’m sharing here through the different categories.


Regarding the Studio Albums, I divided them as well by the years Miles Davis worked with his different label records, which clearly marked his different music styles he developed throughout his career — modal, orchestral, funk, electric, fusion, etc.


While the data presented here was carefully verified through several reliable sources, it is not exempt of errors, so if you find inaccurate or inexact information, let me know in order to correct it. I’ll really appreciate it.


Having said that, hopefully you like all the effort and passion put here. Remember, since the label record is constantly releasing new official material, I’ll keep this updated; again, follow this post and subscribe to my blog to stay tuned.


Music is the best. Enjoy it!
