Right now it's this. Can't go wrong with this one :)

Good choice Steve - especially as today is Miles's 100th birthday !
I shall follow suite. :)
Some more people celebrating (or would be celebrating) their 100th birthday:
Sir David Attenborough
Queen Elizabeth II
Mel Brooks
Marilyn Monroe
Tony Bennett
George Martin
Chuck Berry
Fidel Castro
Hugh Hefner
I think only Sir David and Mel Brooks are still with us.
Anyway, giving this a go. Just a budget price 'best of', but it's the only other CD I've got. I also have Tutu and Bitches Brew, but they're on vinyl, and I'm being lazy.

Ìf you like Brazilian jazz, then you might like 'The Essential Astrud Gilberto' (Verve VRV 6, 1965)
Astrud Gilberto was the one time husband of Joao Gilberto, and is famous for the song 'The Girl from Ipanema'; which you might find to be an "ear-worm".
Label: Polydor – 823 494-1, Verve Records – VRV 6
Released: 1965
Genre: Jazz
Style: Bossa Nova
Which is the opening song on that Getz/Giberto record, and briefly at the end, sung by Astrud.Quote:
