Pressure Sounds

Miles Davis had already spearheaded two major jazz movements (cool and modal jazz) and was about to initiate another major change: the album's cover sports the phrase 'Directions In Music By Miles Davis' above the title.

Most of the musicians, including Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Jack DeJohnette and Chick Corea, who played on the album went on to become giants of the seventies fusion movement.
