Miles '56. El título lo dice todo.O casi. Se trata del tercer volumen, ordenado cronológicamente y dedicado cada uno de ellos a un año, a partir de 1954, editado por Craft. Este sello, dedicado a cuidadosas –y asombrosas– remasterizaciones de clásicos de varios géneros –principalmente jazz y salsa– viene reeditando, en vinilo y en excelentes producciones digitales y CD, mucho del material publicado originalmente por Prestige, Riverside y Contemporary. Y, en este caso, agrupa los registros de Miles Davis para el primero de esos sellos. En 1956 todas las grabaciones corresponden al quinteto, con Sonny Rollins en saxo tenor, Tommy Flanagan en piano, Paul Chambers en contrabajo y Art Taylor en batería, en los tres primeros temas, y con John Coltrane, Red Garland, Chambers y Philly Joe Jones en el resto de la compilación, La música es extraordinaria pero, para los que escuchan por Spottify –parece ser que más del 80 % de los oyentes de ex discos– puede –o no– acarrear el problema de la falta total de información. 

Aquí va, entonces, además del enlace para escuchar por Spotify, los datos pertinentes (la numeración de las pistas corresponde a la edición en CDs; en Spotify las primeras 10 corresponden al CD 1, las numeradas del 11 al 19 al CD 2 y al tercero corresponden las numeradas del 20 al 29.
