Beschreibung:
The influence of Miles Davis's 'second great quintet', consisting of Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams continues to resonate. Jazz musicians, historians, and critics have celebrated the group for its improvisational communication, openness, and its transitional status between hard bop and the emerging free jazz of the 1960s. The book provides a critical analytical study of the Davis quintet studio recordings released between 1965 and 1968, including 'E.S.P.', 'Miles Smiles', 'Sorcerer', 'Nefertiti', 'Miles in the Sky', and 'Filles de Kilimanjaro'.
