that's betty davis on the cover of this release. this is a seminal release for miles davis's second 'great' quartet in that it marks a beginning of an experimentation with electric intruments. from my perspective, as an electric bass guitar player, hearing tony williams' drumming, i'm liable to think, 'i have no idea what in the world i might lay down to these beats.' and here comes ron carter to the rescue, playing electric bass guitar, saying, 'here. here's how it's done.' ...essential listening.
