Miles Smiles, here on CD, is the 1967 album where Miles Davis's second great quintet loosened every rule of small-group jazz and made freedom sound effortless.
By the mid-60s Davis had assembled a band of young firebrands: Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams, still a teenager, on drums. Together they developed an approach critics later called time no changes, where the soloists played over the pulse rather than a fixed chord sequence. It gave the music a buoyant, flickering quality, swinging hard but always sounding like it might go somewhere unexpected.
Orbits kicks off at a blistering clip, Shorter's angular theme spinning out into restless solos. Circle offers a gentle, introspective counterpoint, all hushed tones and patient space. Footprints, Shorter's brooding minor blues, has become a jazz standard in its own right, its rolling bass figure endlessly borrowed. Freedom Jazz Dance, written by Eddie Harris, closes out with taut, spiralling energy and Williams dancing all over the kit.
It is the sound of five remarkable musicians listening intensely to one another, pushing and answering each other in real time.
For anyone exploring the quintet's run, this is a high point and a thrilling way in.
