}}Water Babies is a compilation album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.[1] It compiled music Davis recorded in studio sessions with his quintet in 1967 and 1968,[2] including outtakes from his 1968 album Nefertiti and recordings that foreshadowed his direction on In a Silent Way (1969),[3] while covering styles such as jazz fusion and post-bop.[2] Water Babies was released by Columbia Records in 1976 after Davis had (temporarily) retired.[3]

Background

{{unreferenced section|date=June 2016}}

Released during Miles Davis's retirement in the second half of the seventies, it is a collection of stylistically diverse "leftovers" spanning eighteen months, from the Nefertiti sessions with the Miles Davis Quintet (1967) to the experimental, transitional period between Filles de Kilimanjaro and In a Silent Way (late 1968).

Due to these recordings being released years after they were recorded, the three Wayne Shorter compositions recorded during the 1967 session had made their first appearance in 1969 on Shorter's album Super Nova in a much more free jazz, avant-garde style.

Side 1 features the second great quintet of Davis, Shorter, Hancock, Williams and Carter. On Side 2, Ron Carter is replaced by Dave Holland and Chick Corea doubles with Hancock on electric piano; this line-up is very similar to the one that recorded In a Silent Way minus John McLaughlin and Joe Zawinul, tracks 4 to 6 being from those sessions. Shorter would switch from tenor to soprano saxophone after this session.

In 2002, the album was reissued with "Splash" as a bonus track. "Splash" had been previously released on The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions, with an edited version released on Circle in the Round.

}}Water Babies was released in November 1976 by Columbia Records.[8] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau said the compiled recordings were not "quite vintage Miles", being particularly critical of "Dual Mr. Anthony Tillmon Williams Process" while finding "the rest is better".[9] Rolling Stone magazine's Bob Blumenthal was more enthusiastic, writing that the record showcased some of the best music by Davis' 1964-68 quintet, who were revealed with the passage of time to be "as daring and fascinating as any in the long Davis career".[10] "Although not an essential set", Scott Yanow wrote in AllMusic, "this album fills in some gaps during Davis's transitional period from adventurous acoustic playing to early electric performances."[11]
