That is a fantastic album. I found it by surprise, as I was a new fan of the bebop / hard-bop style of jazz at the time it was released, but purchased it because of the story of how it saw the light of day.
The current album I'm playing: Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters. It's a fusion masterpiece. It's also one of the few fusion albums I own that my wife enjoys. I think she just puts up with Miles's electric period.
