My Next Miles Davis Disc?

Hi all,

Help me out here -

I am a fan of general ambient type music. I have 4 Miles Davis recordings now and would like to add to that. I absolutely love 'Kind Of Blue' and 'In A Silent Way', yet am not so hot on 'Sketches of Spain' and 'Birth of the Cool'. So then, in that light, which Miles recording should be next in my collection? In other words, what is the next closest in style to Kind of Blue and In A Silent Way ?

TIA,

Chris

"Miles In the Sky", "Miles Smiles". Check out "On the Corner" if you really want to freak out!

Seems that this is going where Bomarc said it would. The list is growing! Thanks for the responses and keep 'em coming. But I must ask - ALL these are in the same vein as Kind of Blue and In A Silent Way ??? I'd be shocked if that were the case.

Havent heard from one person in particular that I would be interested in hearing his comments.

"Water Babies" would get my vote... confused yet?

I believe that Miles is unique in all his pile of albums and never repeated himself or anyone. He had a talent to translate anything from Mind to Music with his trumpet and that's where his uniqueness to all other musicians and composers stays.
There are "Miles and Miles and Miles of Miles Davis" to discover!

The quoted phrase belongs to Malcolm McLaren in his most brilliant album "Paris"

i disagree with everyone except the person who recommended the concert 'my funny valentine". right off the bat, miles sets a standard of play in the same way he did with kind of blue.

i have the double cd version.

i think everyone here should also get this!! and then they would not be recommending the other stuff.
