Miles of Music: Trumpeter's Collection Covers 70 CDs

It's a curious irony that at a time when entire music collections can be shrunk down to the size of a couple of sticks of gum, certain music packages keep getting larger. Hot on the heels of the much-celebrated remastered Beatles sets, Sony Legacy is releasing “Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection," a beautiful but ...
