I'm prejudicedAug 21, 2002
By Jeff B Sultanof
I edited this folio. For years, musicians had to transcribe this important music so it could be played, and hoped that the original materials would turn up. The wait is now over. All of the original parts known to exist of this legendary music were utilized to create corrected, clear, edited scores in concert. There are several pages of notes, including bios, a history of the music and the ensemble, and information on the restoration of this music. Also included is a composition that was never recorded. Both the estates of Miles Davis and Gerry Mulligan made this music available to me to prepare this folio, and Keith Mardak, CEO of Hal Leonard, deserves credit for making this music available. For me, this was a challenge and a labor of love. A more detailed article on the editing process will be published by the Journal of the Institute of Jazz Studies in the near future.

Another must-have for the modal student and lover of Miles Davis' most famous pieces. So What is given a fantastic rendition here and provides the source of many variations for the student to transcribe for him/herself.
