Each of the musicians who performed with Davis--saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony\u003cbr\u003eWilliams--went on to a successful career as a top player. The studio recordings released by this group made profound contributions to improvisational strategies, jazz composition, and mediation between mainstream and avant-garde jazz, yet most critical attention has focused instead on live\u003cbr\u003eperformances or the socio-cultural context of the work. Keith Waters' \u003cem\u003eThe Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68\u003c\/em\u003e concentrates instead on the music itself, as written, performed, and recorded. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTreating six different studio recordings in depth--ESP, Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky, and Filles de Kilimanjaro--Waters has tracked down a host of references to and explications of Davis' work. His analysis takes into account contemporary reviews of the recordings, interviews\u003cbr\u003ewith the five musicians, and relevant larger-scale cultural studies of the era, as well as two previously unexplored sources: the studio outtakes and Wayne Shorter's Library of Congress composition deposits. Only recently made available, the outtakes throw the master takes into relief, revealing\u003cbr\u003ehow the musicians and producer organized and edited the material to craft a unified artistic statement for each of these albums. The author's research into the Shorter archives proves to be of even broader significance and interest, as Waters is able now to demonstrate the composer's original\u003cbr\u003econception of a given piece. Waters also points out errors in the notated versions of the canonical songs as they often appear in the main sources available to musicians and scholars. An indispensible resource, \u003cem\u003eThe Miles Davis Quintet Studio Recordings: 1965-1968\u003c\/em\u003e is suited for the jazz scholar as\u003cbr\u003ewell as for jazz musicians and aficionados of all levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeith Waters\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and author of \u003cem\u003eJazz: The First Hundred Years\u003c\/em\u003e, co-authored with Henry Martin (Schirmer, 2001; Second edition 2006); \u003cem\u003eEssential Jazz: The First Hundred Years\u003c\/em\u003e, co-authored with Henry Martin (Schirmer, 2005; Second edition 2008); and, \u003cem\u003eRhythmic and Contrapuntal Structures in the Music of Arthur Honegger\u003c\/em\u003e (Ashgate, 2002).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753955623200,"sku":"9780195393842","price":58.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/afe12ea0a0cfcaa4b51e55015901d7d6.webp?v=1780030237","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-studio-recordings-of-the-miles-davis-quintet-1965-68-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
