The Second Great Quintet as you’ve never heard them before! Every recorded minute of Miles with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams is a precious thing for jazz lovers. Along with alternate versions of songs from the "Miles Smiles," "Sorcerer," "Nefertiti" and "Miles in the Sky" albums, these 1966–68 recordings bring you banter between the musicians that ranges from off-the-cuff wisecracks to serious compositional contemplations. You’ll hear the band evolve from hard bop to mellow moods to nascent fusion across take three of "Masqualero," a rhythm section rehearsal of "Country Son," unused sections from takes five and six of "Circle," "Blues in F (My Ding)," session reels of "Freedom Jazz Dance," "Orbits," "Footprints," "Dolores," Fall," "Nefertiti" and more previously unreleased Miles, newly remixed and remastered in high-resolution audio. Triple 150-gram vinyl in a gatefold sleeve! Legacy/Columbia.
