MUSIC
SOUND
1968 was a period of political and musical unrest. Miles was moved by where rock music and culture were going and clearly, he wanted to be part of it.

This rock-jazz fusion built upon well-structured jams represented a bridge to the giant step that would be the daring In a Silent Way. Herbie Hancock's electric Fender Rhodes piano—a first on a Miles album— points the way to what was to come on the opener "Stuff", which blends soul, jazz and rock anchored by Ron Carter's electric bass.
