Classic LP on limited edition 180g red coloured vinyl with its own unique sticker.'Milestones' represents what many consider to be Miles Davis' frst great quintet

Released in 1958 on Columbia, the fve- star review by AllMusic's Thom Jurek called it ".. a classic album with blues material in both bebop and post- bop veins…….which introduced modalism in jazz and defned Davis' subsequent music in the years to follow."A precursor to 'Kind of Blue', 'Milestones' was the frst session to feature John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley.

"Davis' statements here are genuinely eloquent. Coltrane's efforts here do indicate that he is rapidly moving toward a niche of his own, absorbing infuences but not being obsessed by them. Adderley is less than individualist but is performing on a level of fuency which will make the discovery of a self-sustaining role less difcult in time." - Don Gold, DownBeat (1958)
