- Miles Still Does It
- Outstanding work, even though it was pieced together with contributions from musicians around the world. I loved the marriage of eastern sounds with western jazz....

- twenty bucks?
- I had to blink a couple of times when I saw the price. $20 and it's all or nothing - only one track available separately. THIS IS NOT HOW DOWNLOADABLE MUSIC SALES ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK. This is the music industry trying to preserve an obsolete model.
I didn't buy it and I don't plan to. - 2009-01-02, 0 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not what I hoped for . . . but it has its merits
- I was excited about it when I heard about the project -- I loved the concept. I knew it had some key people, like Michael Henderson, Bartz, Pete, Chick Corea, Lenny White. And to my ears, the music came off "good" overall. But -- with a a couple of exceptions (Spanish Key, Ife), it is missing that thing, that DRAMA. I think those listeners who have followed Miles all these years know what I'm trying to say - it's the thing that makes his music NEVER get old, always fresh. But I can't fault anybody involved with this Miles From India record - my hats are off to you - this session truly must have been a labor of love. Yes, the drama is missing . . . but only because Miles couldn't be there.

- Warning! This is NOT the Miles Davis "Miles from India" Album!!!
- Be careful - the reviews for this album are incorrectly posted from the Miles Davis tribute "Miles from India". This is NOT that album.

- good music
- this cd is a tribute to Miles Davis if you are exposed to his style and
ever listened to Kind of Blue. The tracks are a fusion of east meets
west with all traditional instruments played by masters of the same.
If you have a good system it will reveal the recording quality.Very nice
happy listening and enjoy. - 2008-11-27, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
