About
Directions is a compilation album by Miles Davis, released in 1981 via Columbia Records. It collects previously unreleased outtakes that Davis recorded between 1960 and 1970. Apart from "Song of Our Country" from the recording sessions for Sketches of Spain, a 1961 recording of "'Round Midnight", and "So Near, So Far" from 1963, the album's songs are from Davis' transitional period during 1967 to 1970, when he was experimenting with a fusion of jazz and rock. They feature sidemen such as saxophonist Wayne Shorter, guitarist John McLaughlin, and keyboardists Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, and Chick Corea. .
