Wow, i just love this record. So nice and mellow, ebb and flow, and just space for days. I love the amount of space and silence this record has, so profound.
Anyone else love this record? |

Ron Carter is on some of it, Dave Holland on the rest. It really is great stuff.

If like that you should check out Joe Zawinul's album titled Zawinul. It is equally as good.., same era and has his own version of Silent Way on it.

I have always loved, and I mean LOVED all the stuff from 1858 to 1968, more so those 3-4 albums preceding in a silent way. They are basically still straight ahead jazz, but with herbie Hancock, wayne shorter and Ron Carter. In particular, "nefertiti". |

80s thats another thing......

80s thats another thing...... | amen brother. i love his 70's stuff, can't stand all that hard bop stuff (kind of blue is cool), but i also can't get into his 80's stuff. i do love his last record though, it's like a precursor to the roots, groovy as a mother, early hip-hop miles certainly had a pulse on the times |

I really love Miles' Hard Bop/Post Bop stuff....especially the 1st & 2nd Great 5-tets.
The '80s? Some...the band with Branford, Sco, Munch & Al Foster I liked...great potential not thoroughly realized, IMO.
Some of Marcus Miller's rawest playing can also be heard in this time frame (early '80s).
Did not care for the heavy-synth influence of Tutu, Siesta, etc. Amandla is OK.
That last album, Doo-Bop, I skipped entirely. At that point, I thought Miles was following a trend...not setting it.
YMMV.
