Somehow I have never heard this early Miles interpretation of one of my favorite jazz standards, "There Is No Greater Love." Smooth and restrained, Miles captures the mood of this standard better than most jazz musicians. However, I am also moved by Red Garland's piano solo (or whoever the pianist is). He interjects the blues, adding an air of melancholy, which brings to mind Dinah Washington and other singers who always knew how to add that irresistible blues touch to ballads and torch songs.
