Miles Davis Columbia Jazz Profile SonyBMG

Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis was once described by drummer Chico Hamilton as the ``only superstar that jazz has.'' This album, released as part of Columbia's Jazz Profiles, features nine memorable tracks that show why Davis was such a legend.

Among the tracks included are ``All Blues'' from ``Kind of Blue,'' one of the best-selling jazz albums of all-time; ``Miles Runs the Voodoo Down'' from ``Bitches Brew''; and the classic ballad ``Stella by Starlight.'' The compilation doesn't really offer anything new for hard-core jazz fans, but new fans will enjoy listening to the best from Davis.
