Miles Davis with Michel LeGrand - Dingo

Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2007. Album Description

The Men with the Horn

Michel Legrand arranged, orchestrated and conducted the music for the movie that co-stars Miles Davis as a jazz legend - the fictional character, Billy Cross - who lives in Paris.

But it is trumpeter Chuck Findley who is featured on one-half of the cuts, so listeners hoping for a Davis soundtrack in the style of Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud will be sorely disappointed. The pieces fit well within the framework of the movie, though Findley carries the heavier load on the horn.

Miles Down Under

Some unusual tracks; a blend of music and dialogue in parts. Hearing miles talking is cool though, not to everybody's taste. There is still some good Miles trumpet playing here; I think a worthy edition for a serious Miles Davis collector September 9, 2005

Mucho Davis

Especial para coleccionistas. Al ser un titulo de musica de un film,
y de no haber llegado a los catalogos de mi pais, representa un titulo en donde encontramos a Davis, inspirado, y con la orquestacion de Michael Legrand.
Además podemos escuchar la vos de Miles en varios pasajes. September 26, 2003
