MILES DAVIS
Miles Smiles
SEALED German import limited edition 180 gram Vinyl LP. Columbia/Speakers Corner ACOL 9401. Limited edition reissue. COVER & VINYL: MINT still sealed, never played.
Audiophile re-release with original label and cover artwork.
180 gram virgin vinyl pressing from Pallas in Germany.
MILES DAVIS (trumpet) with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams.
Except for the taping of a live performance at the Portland Festival,
Miles Davis' discography for 1966 only lists the recordings made for the
LP Miles Smiles. How strange when on considers the usual large
output of Miles and his ensembles for Columbia Records in the Sixties.
The bass player Ron Carter was best suited for the complicated rhythm
part and remained Miles' "number one" in a quintet which gave a new
interpretation to compositions by Wayne Shorter and jazz hits such as
"Freedom Jazz Dance" by Eddie Harris and Jimmy Heath's "Gingerbread
Boy." Every second of the nine-minute-long "Footprints" by Shorter is an
absolute highlight, while the drumming of the young Tony Williams in
"Freedom Jazz Dance" is full of vitality, with a quick pulse and even
described as "threatening" in the liner notes. This music is neither
"new stream" nor "old guard" but good modern jazz according to Anthony
Tuttle. That's exactly what Miles Smiles was upon its release 40 years ago – and that's what it is to this day!
