Directions is a compilation album by American jazz musician Miles Davis, released in 1981 by Columbia Records.[1] It collects previously unreleased outtakes that Davis recorded between 1960 and 1970. Directions was the last of a series of compilation albums—mostly consisting of, at that time, previously unreleased music—that Columbia released to bridge Davis' recording hiatus that ended with the Man with the Horn in July 1981.[2]
