It's a unique experience to listen to the track 'Iris' by Miles Davis. This piece, composed by Wayne Shorter is taken from the album titled ‘ESP’. This album by the Second Quintet marks the beginning of their adventurous period, where they favored a more flexible and abstract style that sometimes led me to get completely lost as a teenager or a man in his twenties, listening to this music obsessively and becoming addicted. But 'Iris' is a different piece because it is very melodic, and they still maintain order and clarity throughout the chords.
It's strange to hear this mix where there is a very distinct separation between left and right. Miles in the middle, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on the left, and Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams on the right.
The composition is fantastic and so beautiful, typical of Wayne Shorter's style. However, it didn't receive many performances by other jazz musicians.

Miles in the middle, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on the left, and Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams on the right. It reminded me of the many hours I spent exploring this amazing disc.
