Miles Davis – Directions

Description

“Directions” is a double album that features previously unreleased outtakes recorded over a 10-year period by Miles Davis. Apart from “Song of Our Country” from the recording sessions for Sketches of Spain (1960), a 1961 recording of “‘Round Midnight”, and “So Near, So Far” from 1963, the album’s songs are from Davis’ transitional period during 1967 to 1970, when he was experimenting with a fusion of jazz and rock. They feature sidemen such as saxophonist Wayne Shorter, guitarist John McLaughlin, and keyboardists Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, and Chick Corea.
