Miles Davis -Miles Smiles (Special Guest Mike Kaplan)

(S4 E6) Miles Davis - Miles Smiles (Columbia)

Released February 16, 1967. Recorded October 24-25, 1966

Miles Smiles (Columbia) is a landmark album by Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet, featuring Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums). The album exemplifies post-bop innovation, blending modal jazz with freer rhythms and structures, referencing avant-garde without discarding form. The album’s compositions highlight the quintet's collective improvisation and chemistry, with Shorter contributing standout tracks like "Orbits" and "Footprints." Davis’s lyrical, introspective trumpet playing on "Circle" showcases his evolving style, while Hancock’s minimalist, right-hand-centric approach adds depth. Carter’s bass lines and Williams’s dynamic, experimental drumming propel the group’s sound. Tracks like "Footprints" and "Dolores" emphasize rhythmic complexity and harmonic exploration, solidifying the quintet's legacy as jazz innovators. Miles Smiles received critical acclaim for its groundbreaking sound, remaining a vital document of Davis's transition into more exploratory territories.

Signature Tracks: "Footprints," "Freedom Jazz Dance," "Gingerbread Boy"
