"I just get so impressed of him. Imagine standing every other night playing at a club, doing the absolutely hardest jazz every night. He keeps doing new music every night. 't doesn't matter if he pauses or if he plays, the music is always perfect. It, luckily, lacks the complex and flashy fingerworks of other contemporary jazzmasters works. The music is totally spontaneous.. And the fiveplay here is as good as always. Ron Carter with his fantastic walkinglines. Herbie Hancock completing the chords in new ways. Tony Williams burning behind the drum-set. Wayne Shorter exploring his tenor sax. And finally Miles floating upon it as the king he is...or was. Wow"

"This is a good Miles CD, but you should probably get the box set. Miles plays all the tunes very swiftly. It is kind of strange to hear "Stella By Starlight" played this quickly, but it's hip."
