Miles Davis: Aura
ByAura successfully blends Miles' electric style with the feel of his earlier big-band works with Gil Evans, another of Mikkelborg's prime inspirations. This session was one of Miles' favorites, and rightfully so. From the opening, a musical permutation of the letters "M-i-l-e-s-D-a-v-i-s," through incredible tracks that are reflective, classically or Caribbean-flavored, manic and throbbing in turn, Mikkelborg's work offered Miles the chance to touch once more upon many of the phases his career had touched and then sailed past. If any post-Bitches Brew album by Miles should be considered essential, this is the one.
Pure magic from beginning to end.
