Description
1968 Columbia "360 Sound" on Red Label Stereo Release of Bandleader/Master Composer/Trumpeter Miles Davis Entitled Miles in the Sky, Produced by Teo Macero, Engineered by Frank Laico and Arthur Kendy - "With the 1968 album Miles in the Sky, Miles Davis explicitly pushed his second great quintet away from conventional jazz, pushing them toward the jazz-rock hybrid that would later become known as fusion. Here, the music is still in its formative stages, and it's a little more earth-bound than you might expect, especially following on the heels of the shape-shifting, elusive Nefertiti. On Miles in the Sky, much of the rhythms are straightforward, picking up on the direct 4/4 beats of rock, and these are illuminated by Herbie Hancock's electric piano -- one of the very first sounds on the record, as a matter of fact -- and the guest appearance of guitarist George Benson on "Paraphernalia." All of these additions are tangible and identifiable, and they do result in intriguing music, but the form of the music itself is surprisingly direct, playing as extended grooves. This meanders considerable more than Nefertiti, even if it is significantly less elliptical in its form, because it's primarily four long jams. Intriguing, successful jams in many respects, but even with the notable additions of electric instruments, and with the deliberately noisy "Country Son," this is less visionary than its predecessor and feels like a transitional album -- and, like many transitional albums, it's intriguing and frustrating in equal measures." - Astonishing Personnel for the Quintet & Sextet Features Legendary Composer Miles Davis on Trumpet, the Brilliant Herbie Hancock on Piano, the Talented Ron Carter on Bass, the Great Wayne Shorter on Tenor Saxophone, the Amazing Tony Williams on Drums & George Benson with Guitar on "Paraphernalia" - Selections on Side One Are the Miles Davis Penned Stuff and Original Wayne Shorter Composition Paraphernalia - Tracks for Side Two Are the Tony Williams Song Black Comedy & the Miles Davis Penned Country Son! - Used Copy, Cover Very Good++, Record Mint- - Stereo Recording, Product Code CS 9628 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
