Miles Davis • Sorcerer

 

Review from AllMusic (by Stephen Thomas Erlewine):
Sorcerer, the third album by the second Miles Davis Quintet, is in a sense a transitional album, a quiet, subdued affair that rarely blows hot, choosing to explore cerebral tonal colorings. Even when the tempo picks up, as it does on the title track, there's little of the dense, manic energy on Miles Smiles -- this is about subtle shadings, even when the compositions are as memorable as Tony Williams' "Pee Wee" or Herbie Hancock's "Sorcerer." As such, it's a little elusive, since it represents the deepening of the band's music as they choose to explore different territory. It's such a layered, intriguing work.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Stephen Thomas Erlewine):
Sorcerer, el tercer álbum del segundo Quinteto de Miles Davis, es en cierto sentido un álbum de transición, un asunto tranquilo y moderado que rara vez se calienta, optando por explorar coloridos tonales cerebrales. Incluso cuando el tempo se acelera, como en la pista del título, hay poca de la energía densa y maníaca de Miles Smiles -- esto se trata de matices sutiles, incluso cuando las composiciones son tan memorables como "Pee Wee" de Tony Williams o "Sorcerer" de Herbie Hancock. Como tal, es un poco elusivo, ya que representa la profundización de la música de la banda mientras eligen explorar territorio diferente. Es un trabajo en capas e intrigante.
