This year marks the centennial of one of the 20th century’s most important cultural figures: trumpeter, bandleader, and composer Miles Davis. To honor Davis’ legacy, Craft Recordings announces The Best of Miles Davis, a new collection produced in collaboration with the artist’s estate. Available March 13th, 2026, exclusively on vinyl, the album draws from Davis’ era of the “First Great Quintet.”

With John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones alongside Davis, the collection highlights mid-’50s recordings as “’Round Midnight,” “Just Squeeze Me,” and “My Funny Valentine.”

In addition to the standard release on classic black vinyl, a limited-edition pressing of The Best of Miles Davis is currently available exclusively at Target, featuring Aqua Blue vinyl and, as a special bonus, a 5”x7” artist photo of Davis.

Davis’ centennial will be celebrated throughout 2026 with a wide range of cultural initiatives, live events, brand collaborations, and archival releases, all overseen by the artist’s estate. For more information, visit MilesDavis.com.
