Wayne Shorter joined from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in September, completing a band that already had Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. Williams was 19 years old. \u003cem\u003eE.S.P.\u003c\/em\u003e was their first studio album together, recorded across three days in January 1965 at Columbia's Hollywood studio. What's immediately different from \u003cem\u003eMilestones\u003c\/em\u003e and the earlier quintet records is that the compositions come from the whole band rather than from Davis alone. Carter wrote three of the seven tracks: \"Eighty-One\" (co-written with Davis), \"R.J.\" and \"Mood.\" Shorter wrote the title track (co-written with Davis) and \"Iris,\" one of his most enduring compositions. Hancock wrote \"Little One.\" Only \"Agitation\" is Davis's alone. The result is an album that sounds like a working group rather than a leader with sidemen, each composition pulling the rhythm section into a different shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quintet went on to record \u003cem\u003eMiles Smiles\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSorcerer\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNefertiti\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMiles in the Sky\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFilles de Kilimanjaro\u003c\/em\u003e before moving into electric music, and the interplay they developed across those albums began here. This is the 1983 CBS\/Sony Japanese pressing (23AP 2566) from the Miles Greatest Collection 25 series, a dedicated 25-title reissue programme for the Japanese market. It includes a yellow top-edge obi and a two-sided insert with Japanese liner notes by Yozo Iwanami on one side and the Miles Greatest Collection 25 catalogue on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CBS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44174927986747,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/IMG_8507.jpg?v=1789167361","url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/products\/miles-davis-e-s-p-1983-japanese-pressing-cbs-sony-vinyl-lp","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
