Miles Davis - Miles In The Sky [Import - Music On Vinyl]

Miles In The Sky was Miles’ first foray into this brave new world—recorded in January and May of 1968—four lengthy tunes that began to explore the use of electric piano and electric bass (on the track “Stuff”) and Miles expanded his own arsenal, playing the somewhat more blaring cornet on half the album (his own tunes “Stuff” and “Country Son”). Significantly, Miles invited a new instrument into the mix: George Benson playing the defining riff on electric guitar on Shorter’s “Paraphernalia.” It was the start of a romance that would intensify through the rest of Miles’ career—plugged-in guitarists becoming a standard element on his recordings and a part of his stage shows.
