Miles Davis – Miles In The Sky (2xLP, MOFI, Numbered, 45RPM)

Miles In The Sky marks jazz giant Davis' transition from modal to fusion jazz. Already showing great ease with electrically amplified instruments, he is ready at the same time for excursions into uncharted territories. This album is the fifth and last with the second Miles Davis quintet, with which Davis made musical history. Tony Williams (percussion), Herbie Hancock (piano), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass) and guest George Benson (guitar) play wide-open soundscapes laced with humor, bossa nova, country and ballroom touches.
