Terry Seabrook's "Milestones"

Terry Seabrook's "Milestones"

Most folk's first reaction to anyone suggesting a reprise of what is the jazz world's best known recording by Miles Davis would most probably be 'no chance!' Terry and this band have dispelled that view without a doubt. This has been on of UK jazz's most successful projects in many a year and the band has toured extensively since 2010, with these superb musicians putting their own stamp on Miles' evergreen classics.
