The William Claxton Collection, 180 gram vinyl LP in Gatefold packaging. Miles Ahead, Miles’ first recording on fl ugelhorn, is a completely refi ned product in which the arrangements, the repertoire and the mood of every improvisation were carefully selected. Even though the album is formed by pieces by different composers, Evans’ arrangements create the effect of a concerto more than individual pieces put together. The complete LP Steamin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet (Prestige PRLP-7200) has been added here as a bonus.

Navarro belongs to a generation of musicians who shaped the history of jazz music in Argentina, starting already in the mid-50s alongside other renowned jazzmen such as Lalo Schifrin, Leandro "Gato" Barbieri, "Baby" López Furst or Jorge López Ruiz.
