Waters provides a detailed view of six different recordings - "E.S.P", "Miles Smiles", "Sorcerer", "Nefertiti", "Miles in the Sky", and "Filles de Kilimanjaro". He takes into account contemporary reviews of the recordings, interviews with the five musicians, and detailed transcriptions, as well as two previously unexplored sources: the studio outtakes and Wayne Shorter's Library of Congress composition deposits. An indispensable resource, this book is suited for the jazz scholar as well as for jazz musicians and aficionados of all levels.
