Day 19: May 26, 2005

Davis, Miles, BIRTH OF THE COOL - Davis' Blue Note sessions have been conveniently collected on this set. This is where be-bop begins.
unaired - BITCHES BREW, SKETCHES OF SPAIN, KIND OF BLUE

Davis Jr., Sammy, GREATEST HITS - I'm a fan of Sammy and someone got me this very cut-rate off-label hits collection as a gift many years ago. It's all good stuff, although the absence of "Mr. Bojangles" is a pretty glaring omission. I played this disc for my son a couple of times and it made him very happy!
