Ebook: The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68

The "Second Quintet"--The Miles Davis Quintet of the mid-1960s--was one of the most innovative and influential groups in the history of the genre. Each of the musicians who performed with Davis--saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams--went on to a successful career as a top player. The studio recordings released by this group made profound contributions to improvisational strategies, jazz composition, and mediation between mainstream and avant-garde jazz, yet most critical attention has focused instead on live performances.;Cover; Contents; 1 The Quintet; 2 Analytical Strategies; 3 E.S.P.; 4 Miles Smiles; 5 Sorcerer; 6 Nefertiti; 7 Miles in the Sky and Filles de Kilimanjaro; 8 The Quintet and Its Legacies; Discography Of Recordings; Bibliography; Index.
