Miles Ahead is a studio album by the American jazz musician Miles Davis, released on October 21, 1957, by Columbia Records. It was Davis' first collaboration with arranger Gil Evans since the 1949-50 Birth of the Cool sessions. Along with their subsequent collaborations Porgy and Bess (1959) and Sketches of Spain (1960), Miles Ahead is one of the most famous recordings of Third Stream, a fusion of jazz, European classical, and world musics. Davis played flugelhorn throughout.
