Miles Davis – Sorcerer

Released in 1967, Sorcerer is the third album from Miles Davis’s second great quintet, featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

Recorded at Columbia Studios in New York, it explores a refined, post-bop aesthetic with subtle textures and measured intensity. Most compositions are by the band members, including highlights like Masqualero, Prince of Darkness and Vonetta. The final track, Nothing Like You, recorded earlier with Bob Dorough, stands apart in tone. The album marks a transitional phase, focused on nuance and ensemble interplay.
