The Complete On The Corner Sessions
The final and eighth box set in this collection finds Miles shifting his musical direction yet again. Miles plunges into the world of deep, hard, grooves and constantly shifting rhythms, taking his funk right to the streets. With distorted guitar lines, percolating, complex rhythms, and two-note bass riffs, On The Corner has been called "the most street album ever recorded by a jazz musician."
