Miles Davis – Nefertiti (SACD, Mobile Fidelity)

In 1968 the last purely acoustic album by the second Miles Davis Quintet was released. Nefertiti is a quiet album with fine nuances, on which the musicians listen to each other wonderfully and at the same time are committed to the tradition of Hard Bob. Jazz connoisseurs refer to Nefertiti as the last and necessary step Davis had to take before he could devote himself to fusion jazz. Featuring Miles Davis on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums.
