NEFERTITI is beautiful, but I would strongly recommend starting with KIND OF BLUE. There are several versions on CD, make sure you get catalogue number CK64935 (has additional alternate take of "Flamenco Sketches") because not only has it been remastered (big improvement) but a speed/pitch error on three of the six tunes has now been corrected. It's all explained in the liner notes that start on the back of the CD. -Fred Simon
