Hmm... lyrics would be nice. But, it's a classic, so it's there on my favourites. Nice instrumentals and clear innovation.

Not much bad to say about this one. Sometimes it can be a little too slow-paced for me, but those times are very rare. One of the greatest albums ever recorded.

Very enjoyable and relaxing kind of muisc. Rated the album and all songs with a high score of 90/10, but I can't really compare jazz to all the other albums I've listened, so it won't come on my chart.

I have to stop whenever I hear a new solo come on. It's as if a new personality has entered the room. I just have to stop everything and breathe in deep.

This is not the cornerstone of my jazz collection. I think modal Jazz was a significant break-through in Jazz theory but this album is easily beat by several more traditional recordings. It is one of the most accessible theory-based pieces I've heard

One of the very few albums I am always in the mood to listen to. A platter on which Miles Davis serves his genius.
