This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Within the small circle of modern jazz trombonists, few would argue that Steve Davis stands apart from the crowd, not only as a singular instumental voice but also as a gifted composer. With Systems Blue, his fifth Criss Cross album to date, Davis explores a distinguished set of jazz standards while being accompanied by his rhythm section partners from One for All - pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Joe Farnsworth. Alto saxophonist Mike DiRubbo joins the group on two titles.

Directions is a double album that features previously unreleased outtakes recorded over a 10-year period by Miles Davis. Apart from InchSong of Our CountryInch from the recording sessions for Sketches of Spain (1960), a 1961 recording of Inch'Round MidnightInch, and InchSo Near, So FarInch 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.
