Miles Ahead

Miles Ahead, the original motion picture soundtrack, is a masterful compilation of jazz greatness, featuring the iconic music of Miles Davis. Released on 1 April 2016 via Columbia/Legacy, this 24-track album is a testament to Davis's innovative spirit and genre-bending style, which seamlessly blends jazz-instrumental, jazz-funk, trumpet jazz, modal music, and hard bop.

With a career-spanning selection of tracks, from 1956 to 1981, Miles Ahead showcases the legendary musician's most essential works, including 'So What' (feat. John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley & Bill Evans), 'Nefertiti - Edit', and 'Black Satin - Edit'. The album also features five original compositions, written, co-written, produced, or performed exclusively for the film by Robert Glasper, such as 'What's Wrong with That?' and 'Gone 2015' (feat. Pharoahe Monch).

Interwoven with dialogue tracks from the film, starring Don Cheadle as Miles Davis, this soundtrack offers a unique glimpse into the life and creative process of a musical genius. The result is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of the 20th century's most influential musicians. Miles Ahead is a must-listen for fans of jazz and beyond, and its excellence was recognised at the 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards, where it won Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
