Miles Davis – E.S.P VG+/VG+

E.S.P. is an album by Miles Davis, released on August 16, 1965. It is the first album from what is known as Davis’s second great quintet: Davis on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums.

The album is characterized by its modal jazz sound, which is characterized by its use of scales rather than chords. This gives the music a more open and improvisational feel. The album is also notable for its use of polyrhythms, which are two or more rhythms played simultaneously. This creates a complex and layered sound that is both exciting and challenging.

The album was a critical and commercial success, and it is considered to be one of Miles Davis’s most important recordings. It is also a landmark album in the history of jazz, as it marked a turning point in Davis’s career and helped to define the sound of modal jazz.
