Ron Carter

The fourth studio album by the second great Miles Davis quintet, and the second comprising material recorded in the pivotal year of 1967, NEFERTITI marked yet another metamorphosis in the career of a great musician noted for welcoming change.

2009 digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums arranged and conducted by Benny Golson: Just Jazz! and Pop + Jazz = Swing (both released in 1962). The original album Just Jazz featured Benny Golson's arrangements of well known standards performed by an all-star group including Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy and Wayne Shorter.

Eric Dolphy’s complete original album Out There (New Jazz NJLP8252), his second LP as a leader after Outward Bound.

The instrumentation featured here is unusual, with Dolphy playing in a quartet format with Ron Carter on cello, George Duvivier on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums.

The recordings from their 1967 European tour are some of the only existing documentation of the band performing compositions from the extraordinary series of studio albums they made between 1965-1967 -- E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer and Nefertiti.
