Factory Sealed 180 Gram Limited Edition classic LP - The nicest thing you can do for your stylus and your ears. The ultimate record -- the way music was meant to be heard.

You should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

Quiet Nights is a project like Sketches of Spain, with a softer, more sensual, and darker (night-time) feel. The cover expresses the mood of the album well. Feels like stepping into a Jobim cocktail party onto a night patio overlooking the lights of Rio de Janeiro .

Whatever its liner note details, this is an album made by Miles in his prime, and Gil Evans in his prime, and it doesn't matter that it's twenty-seven minutes long -

There is no softer or warmer Miles album than this. Don't be afraid of this album. Miles doesn't have to sound "cool" all the time.

You’re Under Arrest - No harsh words of criticism for Miles' 1985 pop-soft jazz effort. While so-called die hard fans of Miles or jazz used adjectives such as "flop", "poor quality", and "worst", it is anything but...The only slight unstable choices he made was to do cover instrumentals of Michael Jackson's Human Nature and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time at a time when the original songs were still fresh. Instead, he should have opted for writing a couple of original tunes himself (even if they were only going to be filler material---the key word being original).These two tracks ended up being played as light elevator music tunes in department or grocery stores. The rest of the album, however, showed that Miles could adapt to the changing times and styles of music in order to reach younger listeners as well. No longer was his music exclusive to hardcore jazz purists...Miles Davis is for the entire world !

Tracks include: One Phone Call/Street Scenes - Human Nature - MD1 Something’s On Your Mind - MD 2 - Ms. Morrisine - Katia Prelude - Katia - Time After Time - You’re Under Arrest - Medley

Seven Steps To Heaven - In 1963, the Kelly/Chambers/Cobb rhythm section packed up and left, leaving Miles Davis without a band. Despite being at an age when most musicians would rather sit on their laurels and play on some giants of jazz tour, he decided to assemble a new working band.

This LP shows that assembly in progress. The three ballads were recorded in LA with George Coleman (tenor sax), Victor Feldman (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Frank Butler (drums). "Basin Street Blues" is very different from Louis Armstrong's version -- Davis's trumpet playing is much sadder, merging abstraction and the blues.

But the real treasures in the set are the three tunes recorded one month later with Carter, Coleman, and two younger musicians: pianist Herbie Hancock and drumming prodigy Tony Williams. Williams, only 17 years old here, generates an incredible level of excitement on "Joshua" and the title track. These may be the most exciting up-tempo tracks Davis had recorded since "Two Bass Hit" and "Straight, No Chaser". The quintet with Coleman, Hancock, Carter and Williams would soon evolve into one of the trumpeter's greatest groups, and this is where they got started.

Tracks include: 1. Basin Street Blues 2. Seven Steps to Heaven 3. I Fall in Love Too Easily 4. So Near, So Far 5. Baby Won't You Please Come Home

SORCERER - 

Released between 2 of the quinetet's greatest efforts ("Miles Smiles," and "Nefertiti") is "Sorcerer," one of the band's most underrated efforts, but no less amazing.

Music that is dark, powerful, dignified.

The power of the album starts with Wayne Shorter and his compositions (he wrote all but the oddly out of place "Nothing Like You," the title track, penned by Hancock, and "Pee-Wee," a Tony Williams effort). Shorter's skills have blossomed during his tenure with Miles- especially his lyrical sensibilities. "Limbo," for example, is both a lyrical wonder yet still a powerful forum for Tony Williams, who was on fire. "Masqualero" is one of Shorter's darker pieces, with its recurrent theme. The soloists are allowed to explore as Herbie and Ron play around with the tempos, changing them as they go. "Vonetta" is much the same way. "Prince of Darkness" is a rather conventional song structure but with this band, nothing remained conventional for long, as the results show....

Hancock and Williams each contribute a number for the lp, and in the case of Williams' "Pee Wee," a rarity- a quartet setting on his ballad, as Miles chooses to not play. Known as the driving force of the group, "Pee Wee" (his first songwriting contribution to the group) shows a softer side of Williams that is refreshing...

The collection shows a work in progress. The band is by this time fully integrated, on the loose, and, as always, restless, eager to try new things, grow. The picture of Tyson on the cover also shows that- she is free and not afraid to show it. The band has yet to reach its pinnacle with "Nefertiti," but shows great progress on this underrated gem.

An amazing effort.

DECOY - No matter who backed him up, Miles always played in his own way and one could always tell it was him. The trio of songs that begin the album-the title cut,"Robot 415" and "Code M.D." are pulsing electro-funk hip/hop numbers that stand as the beginnings of jazz-hop and are therefore a precursor to what music would be doing a decade later. "What Is It" and "That's What Happened" are organic, white-hot, live-in-the-studio jams where Miles blows like a siren. The moody "Freaky Deaky" and "That's Right" add enough change of pace to make this one of Mile's better 80's albums by far!
