Goober, I just ran across this link but know nothing about this reviewer. There is some good information here but it can also be a bit lightweight. Simply saying the music is "wonderful" is not very discriminating. But he does pretty much cover the span of Miles' recordings as a leader.

One correction stands out, Miles had four Prestige albums, not three. Also the quoted criticism on "Sketches of Spain" seemed unfair to me. Miles heard Rodrigo's recording (classical) and was impressed enough to work with Gil Evans to develop that theme as an orchestrated jazz album. No wonder it sounded classical!

Certainly not a definitive listing, but a fair cross sectional introduction. And no, I didn't post this just because of his #1 choice. ;^)
