Like most jazz artists,
Miles Davis isn't particularly well-served by a
Greatest Hits collection, since their brevity and haphazard sampling tends to obscure the scope and depth of his artistry. Nevertheless,
Greatest Hits works better than expected, featuring such classics as "All Blues," "Someday My Prince Will Come, ' "Walkin'," "E.S.P.," "'Round Midnight" and "So What." These tracks might not fully capture the essence of
Miles' Columbia Records, but the music is wonderful and it functions as an adequete intruductory sampler for the curious.
