E.S.P.
Beskrivning:Tenorsaxofonisten Wayne Shorters första skiva med Miles Davis berömda 60-talskvintett, som i övrigt bestod av Herbie Hancock p, Ron Carter b och Tony Williams dr. Som en liten kuriositet kan nämnas att jazzskribenten Ralph J Gleason i stället för baksidestext skrivit en dikt bestående av album- och låttitlar förknippade med Miles.
"...Miles had been moving toward this direction in the two years preceding the release of ESP and he had recorded with everyone outside of Shorter prior to this record, but his addition galvanizes the group, pushing them toward music that was recognizably bop but as adventurous as jazz's avant-garde. Outwardly, this music doesn't take as many risks as Coltrane or Ornette Coleman's recordings of the mid-'60s, but by borrowing some of the same theories — a de-emphasis of composition in favor of sheer improvisation, elastic definitions of tonality — they created a unique sound that came to define the very sound of modern jazz....On ESP, they tilt a bit toward conventional hard bop (something that's apparent toward the end of the record), largely because this is their first effort, but the fact is, this difference between this album and hard bop from the early '60s is remarkable....This quintet may have cut more adventurous records, but ESP remains one of their very best albums."
