Description
A 3CD box set collection chronicling Miles' musical evolution in the studio from 1966-1968 working with his "second great quintet," the latest edition in Columbia/Legacy's acclaimed Miles Davis Bootleg Series provides an unprecedented look into the artist's creative process, drawing on full session reels including all rehearsals, partial and alternate takes, studio conversation and more.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Miles Smiles, the groundbreaking second studio album from the Miles Davis Quintet--Miles Davis (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass) and Tony Williams (drums)--this definitive new collection includes the master takes of performances which would eventually appear on the Miles Smiles (1967), Nefertiti (1968) and Water Babies (1976) albums alongside more than two hours worth of previously unreleased studio recordings from original sessions produced by Teo Macero (with the exception of "Fall," produced by Howard A. Roberts).

Same here! This has been a sensational series for Miles nuts. Really hope they delve into the 71–75 electric bands more.

Ok...this is going to be sacrilege...but...
A twinge of regret on this one...
There is NO DENYING how incredible the music is...I love this ensemble.
And the session reels are really fascinating to hear the process. Plus to hear Miles cuss.
But the replay value to me is limited....it reminds me of the cds of early Fleetwood Mac albums where the breakdown takes break up the flow of the album proper.
Granted I knew going in....but I am hoping the bootleg series goes back to a focus of live material...and I echo Dental Floss Tycoon...let's go deep in that early 70's Brew!

I agree – the focus should be on the live material. However, I love this release, and always enjoy studio chatter, especially from jazz sessions. I have about six 1971 European tour boots that are very high quality featuring Jarrett, Bartz, and Ndugu. Would love to see this group more, as well as the guitar bands from the following four years. Already a lot of 1969–70 stuff out there. I'm also a big fan of the 1981–82 band as well, tho the set list hardly changed that much during its existence. Still, I'd be glad to see a release. After 1982, I have zero interest in live Miles.

I did say twinge. Ha.
Agreed that the fly on the wall aspect is fascinating. How there is a significant amount of work to be spontaneous - perhaps not significant in the amount of time, but definitely in the amount of focused creativity.

Rumored volume 6 release early next year will be three shows from Miles' 1960 European tour with Trane, Wynton, PC, and Jimmy Cobb.

That would be good, recently I realized that there wasn't any new Miles this year. I was going through withdrawal. I think I have all the shows from that tour on boots, but I'll pick it up anyway.

I have that as well. Coltrane is excellent on there, but you can hear him champing at the bit. He was ready to lead his own group. Great stuff.
