Miles Davis

Seven Steps: The Complete Columbia Recordings Of Miles Davis, 1963-1964
Columbia Legacy 2004


At the end of the day, while Rivers is clearly not the right fit for the group, the tracks
from Miles in Tokyo are much more than a failed experiment, and in context of this
entire collection serves as just one more step towards the formation of the final
lineup.

The final tumbler falls into place on disc seven, representing Miles in Berlin ,
another record seeing release in North America for the first time, and including a
previously unissued version of "Stella By Starlight." The repertoire may have been
safe—including "Milestones," "Autumn Leaves," "So What," "Walkin'" and "Go-Go
(Theme)" —but one can hear an almost audible gasp as the group takes full shape
with the recruitment of Wayne Shorter, finally available after a five-year stint with
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Shorter is as comfortable bending rhythm,
harmony and texture as the rest of the group, and along with Hancock, Carter and
Williams, he drives Miles further into outward-reaching territory.

With a firmer footing in the tradition than Rivers, and a more cerebral approach that
mirrors Hancock's more intellectual tendencies, Shorter fits in as the perfect
complement to Miles' ever more expansive reach. It would be another year before
the quintet would release E.S.P. , the first album of new compositions to grace a
Miles Davis record since '61's Someday My Prince Will Come. While the group
would continue, for the most part, to mine the existing songbook for some time to
come, there is no question, by this stage, that something significant was going on.
And by the time December '65 and the Plugged Nickel recordings arrived, it would
be even more evident that this quintet of young players would take music places it
had never been"
