Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Wallace Roney, Tony Williams – A Tribute To Miles (1994)





A Tribute to Miles is a tribute album by the rest of Miles' Quintet in 1964-1968, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams, Ron Carter. This was the tribute album to pay homage to the then recently departed mentor of the above men, Miles Davis who died in September 1991. Playing the part of Davis, was young trumpet player Wallace Roney. Just like how they were in the 60s, this tribute album still have it in post bop style.
Generally, the term post-bop is taken to mean jazz from the mid-sixties onward that assimilates influence from hard bop, modal jazz, the avant-garde, and free jazz. It's wild, it's delicious, it's free, it's amazing. This album won all five men a Grammy award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. This marked Hancock's third overall Grammy award. Not suitable for easy listening lovers, but will be absolutely perfect for those who like complicative and free improvisation style of music. :)
