MILES NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. IF YOU ARE INTO ABSOLUTE BEAUTY OF ABSOLUTE SOUND, THIS CLASSIC 1966 "QUINTET" ALBUM IS FOR YOU. ON THIS ONE, MILES IS BACKED BY THE TIGHT GROUP COMPRISING OF SOME OF THE MOST COMPETENT, CREATIVE MUSICIANS EVER ASSEMBLED IN ONE PLACE (WAYNE SHORTER, TENOR; HERBIE HANCOCK, PIANO; RON CARTER, BASS AND TONY WILLIAMS, DRUMS). ON THIS ALBUM, MILES INITIATES CHANGES IN TRADITIONAL, MORE FORMAL MUSICAL STRUCTURES WHICH WOULD CULMINATE IN A FREE-FORM SPACE FUNK JAZZ FUSION OF 'BITCHES BREW' SOME THREE YEARS LATER. A MOVE TO GREATER GROUP IMPROVISATION, SHIFTING TIME SIGNATURES AND INCREASED CHROMATICISM IS PALPABLE. HERBIE HANCOCK'S CLASSIC PIANO SOLO ON "ORBITS" IS IN ITSELF WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. MISS IT NOW AND WEEP LATER! TRACK LISTING: Circle - Orbits - Dolores - Freedom Jazz Dance - Gingerbread boy - Footprints…

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID)
(b) The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.
(c) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
