first miles i ever heard

strangely, this was the first miles davis i actually listened to. i worked my way backwards from here, which was a pretty weird way to discover this genius's vast catalog. anyway, this album is funky (thanks to marcus layin it down), and the stern/sco pairing reminds me of other great jazz guitar albums like marc johnson's first bass desires album. favorites are come get it, speak, and u'n'i (which is beautifully cheesy). by the way al foster is tight tight tight.
Note about Bill Evans

Note to prior reviewer: Bill Evans is the best jazz pianist ever in my opinion, but there is also a Bill Evans who is a wonderful sax player who also worked with Miles. Please do your research! Thanks! :)
This is a weird album but I like it...a modern Birth of the Cool.

It's a different Bill Evans, floydian31. THIS Bill Evans played (and still plays) the sax. Yes, it's true, Miles played with two different Bill Evans'
BTW: Yes, this is some of Miles' best 80s stuff.
Great Music!!

In my opinion, it's a Miles Davis must buy. It's great to hear both John Scofield and Mike Stern play on these tunes. Also the Itunes review is correct, the Bill Evans on this recording is in fact a sax player. Not to be confused with the great Bill Evans, piano player.
Woah!

Great music. Wonderful. I love Miles. Always buy Miles Davis.
But iTunes: In your review, you said Bill Evans was a saxophonist. WRONG! He played piano. He was one of the greatest jazz pianists ever to grace music. Not saxophone.
