Alyn Shipton celebrates the centenary of Miles Davis with listeners’ requests for music from all periods of his career. These include tracks from seminal albums L’Ascenseur Pour L’echafaud and Birth of the Cool, drawn from the newly remastered editions being released this week. To introduce some of the requests, Alyn also talks to surviving members of Miles’s groups, including bassist Dave Holland and guitarist George Benson. Join our community of jazz lovers.
