Each listening is a magical experience, no matter how familiar the material has become. The second collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, Porgy and Bess, is one such distinctive recording - presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve Tracks: 01. The Buzzard Song 02. Bess, You Is My Woman Now 03. Gone 04. Gone, Gone, Gone 05. Summertime 06. Bess, Oh Where's My Bess 07. Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus) 08. Fishermen, Strawberry And Devil Crab 09. My Man's Gone Now 10. It Ain't Necessarily So 11. Here Come De Honey Man 12. I Loves You, Porgy 13. There's A Boat That's Leaving Soon For New York Porgy and Bess is just one of many great albums that Miles Davis recorded over his lifetime. It reaches a higher plateau than most, though, in its way that it can reach the listener on both a musical and emotional level. That the album is still able to do this after almost forty-five years is a testament to the rare magic that occurred in a New York studio over four days in the summer of 1958.
