It marked a revolutionary moment that opened the door to modal jazz.
This masterpiece by the Miles Davis Sextet combines experimental elements that show the beginnings of modal jazz with the group's high level of improvisation, making it an important work that would shape the course of jazz history.
This groundbreaking album was produced during Miles Davis' transition from hard bop to modal music. His ensemble with John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley is tight-knit, with each musician demonstrating a clear sense of structure in their improvisations. The modal developments exemplified by the title track were an important stepping stone to his subsequent album, "Kind of Blue." A monumental work that will remain in jazz history, combining a vivid sound with an intellectual spirit of inquiry.
