The seven discs of Seven Steps gather the few studio efforts and the many live performances from this transitional era, among them two sets from a Philharmonic Hall date that yielded the up-tempo collection Four and More and the ballad-heavy My Funny Valentine. Also here are two blazing concerts -- from Tokyo and Berlin -- that, criminally, never saw U.S. release. Steps isn't the most important Miles ever, but it shows that, even in upheaval, he knew how to take things higher.
