When 17 year-old Drummer Tony Williams joined The Miles Davis Group in 1963 he told the leader that Milestones was ‘the definitive Jazz album of all time’. Miles was stunned and immediately began playing the title tune again in his band’s live set. While it took the brash youngster to renew the Trumpeter’s interest in his own heritage, the set of tunes first released in 1958, had already been acknowledged as a timeless work of art. The British Critic, Author and Editor of Melody Maker Richard Williams recently described Milestones as ‘the greatest piece of music created in the 20th century’.
