Miles Davis – Nefertiti (Numbered 45RPM Vinyl 2LP)

Final All-Acoustic Outing from Davis’ Classic Second Quintet

Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Record’s Tonal Shadings, Gradations, and Textures Come Alive

Confident 1967 Effort Steeped in Inquisitive Interplay and Subconscious Impressionism

Nefertiti will always be known as the final all-acoustic record made by Miles Davis’ classic second quintet. A thematic bookend to the preceding Sorcerer, the 1967 set shares much in common with its equally nuanced predecessor yet deviates by way of its focus on rhythm and exploratory soundscapes. 

Mastered from the original master tapes, this collectible audiophile version of Nefertiti joins the ranks of eleven other essential Davis records given supreme sonic and packaging treatment by Mobile Fidelity. Afforded supreme dynamics and full-range extension, cyclical melodies resonate with a moody character and ambience normally only heard in small jazz clubs. Instrumental pitch, too, is spot-on, a measuring stick for how all acoustic-based passages should be experienced.
