Miles Davis Quintet - The Complete Studio Recordings 1965-1968 is a 6 CD set originally released in 1998. It compiles the complete studio recordings of Miles Davis’ legendary “Second Great Quintet” (Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams). 

 

The box set gathers all the studio sessions from 1965 to 1968 that produced the albums “E.S.P.” (1965), “Miles Smiles” (1967), “Sorcerer” (1967), “Nefertiti” (1968), “Miles in the Sky” (1968), and “Filles de Kilimanjaro” (1968). It includes both the originally released takes and several alternate versions and unreleased material. 

 

These recordings document the transition from Miles’ structured post-bop sound toward the freer, more open-ended playing that paved the way for his electric period. 

 

The box set includes a 72 page booklet with extensive liner notes, session details, and historical context.
