Miles Ahead is the original motion picture soundtrack of the 2015 film of the same name. Released on April 1, 2016, the soundtrack features music by Miles Davis, Robert Glasper, and Taylor Eigsti, with dialogue tracks by Don Cheadle, Ewan McGregor, and Phil Schaap. Consisting of 24 tracks, the ranges of album's genre include jazz-instrumental, jazz-funk, trumpet jazz, modal music, hard bop, fusion and hiphop (on the closing track).
"Solea", "Seven Steps to Heaven", "Nefertiti", "Duran", "Black Satin", "Back Seat Betty", "So What", "Frelon brun", and "Go Ahead John (part two C)" are some of the most well-known songs on the album. There are four new compositions written/co-written by Glasper.
