Miles Davis: "Miles Smiles"

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

This was a pivotal album by Miles Davis' "second great quintet". Miles Davis with Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. The band worked a lot in 1966 and Miles, who had a health scare and a car accident in 1965 came back in force with his health restored and his energy intact for this amazing recording done in October 1966. This album more than anything else that Miles had done was the signal to all that this group was a force to be reckoned with. The album was called "Miles Smiles" and when you hear it, you'll know why.
