Jazz giant Miles Davis is probably best-known for this tune. Alternating between a small combo (alto, tenor, bari.,trumpet, trombone, and guitar) and full ensemble, Mark has created a masterful chart for young players. Improvising is all done on 2 dorian scales. Sample written solos and scales are included. This one should be in every young band's library!
