Click the play button to listen
Miles certainly wasn't a prolific composer, but many of his tunes have stood the test of time to become jazz standards.
His best-known bebop tunes include "Donna Lee,""Half Nelson" and "Little Wille Leaps." "Boplicity" and "Deception" were written for the "Birth of the Cool," while "Dig," "Tune-Up," and "Vierd Blues" were penned in the early 50s.
You'll hear covers from Al Foster, Joe Lovano, Enrico Rava, Paolo Fresu, Joey DeFrancesco, Claudio Roditi and Jeff Hamilton.
