Miles Davis - The Essential (2001)

Thus, the package begins in 1945, when a 19-year old Davis, who had arrived in New York two years earlier to study at the presitgious Juilliard School of Music, was on the bandstand with modern jazz fountainhead Charlie Parker, and concludes in 1986, with Davis, age 60 and an international superstar, performing with synthesizers and drum machines, his Harmon-muted horn still the very essence of lonely lyricism. The singular sound of Miles Davis . . . absolutely immortal.
