{quote}As a youngster this was one of the first records I heard that got me seriously into jazz music.At the time it was mainly because of the groovy inventiveness on the tracks 'Footprints' and 'Freedom Jazz Dance.'As I grew older more other elements of the whole album captivated me and it continues to right up to today. In every listen I hear something new. Like all of the '60s Miles Quintet albums this one is full of creativity, risks and innovative spontaneous composition/improvisation techniques. Not too long ago I heard some of the alternate takes and the band rehearsing on the session for this album. You really get to truly hear masters at work.{quote}Shane Forbes: The Spa, Scarborough, 26th September 2015Miles Davis: Miles Smiles released 1967Shane Forbes
