I had the chance to learn about Miles from Ashley Kahn, author of Kind Of Blue, who knew him. The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions is about transitioning from acoustic to electrical sound. Transitioning, then, is used as a conceptual design vehicle throughout; the color goes from blue to yellow; patterns based on photos of Miles' shirts range from organic to mathematical; the slip case cover is blue, but the book cover is yellow; The Mix is a hybrid between a serif font and a sans serif.
