Nefertiti
by Miles Davis
The final fully acoustic album from the Second Great Miles Davis Quintet, 'Nefertiti' is a quiet revolution and a stunning conclusion to the group's acoustic journey. The title track is famous for its radical reversal of roles, where the horns state the haunting, repetitive theme without soloing, while the rhythm section improvises with breathtaking freedom and creativity beneath them. This dissolution of traditional function was a pivotal moment for the avant-garde, creating a mesmerizing, abstract soundscape.
