Customer Reviews The 2nd of 8 boxes Originally released in 1998 , this material would be the 4th chronologically. This is the second released Columbia box , covering Miles tenure there. As with the first released box , good luck finding it in the metal-encased box. The man is Miles , the music is Miles. That's all that matters. Listen and marvel. . . . put it in your cart , now. Must have. Everything Miles did was transitional. Some call it transitional music. What a great band. Everyone soars, great Wayne, Herbie's touch, Ron's the center, Tony's the key, Miles. . . just funks up my bag. ARGUABLY THE MOST INTERESTING PERIOD OF MILES' CAREER A great deal of attention is spent on Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain and Bitches Brew - all deservedly so - but each of them represent only a portion of Davis' musical scope. This remarkable box set focuses on a period of Miles Davis' career that many jazz neophytes tend to overlook. Of all the stylistic changes that Miles Davis undertook, few had been as adventurous and rewarding as the work he created with his second `classic' quintet lineup, featuring Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Herbie Hancock on keyboard, Ron Carter on bass and the explosive Tony Williams on drums. Unlike the most popular works of Miles Davis, this is not easy listening music, not by any means. The music created by this quintet is challenging and demanding, which is precisely why it is so extraordinary. Repeated listening continues to pay dividends, in spades. Difficult, angular arrangements constantly veer off into ingenious, mind-boggling directions. Following the supple movements of this rhythm section is about as difficult as chasing a kitten, but soloists Davis and Shorter (and Hancock, too, who is a major component of the rhythm section and a startling soloist as well) never seem to lose their footing. It is jazz music as an intricate game of prodding and suggestion, able to go in virtually any direction, with all five members listening to each other with an intensity that most musicians could only aspire to. . .
