MILES DAVIS- A TRIBUTE TO JACK JOHNSON


Yeah, I'm posting some jazz. Get over it... if you want to. This is Miles in 1970, definitely entering into the era in which he was obsessed with rock and soul music but still a jazz player at heart. This shit is very not jazzy. It sounds at first like it's going to be a blues jam, then Miles shows up and starts blowing over everything in the way only he's capable of but you also get some cool shit from John Mclaughlin and Herbie Hancock, who apparently wasn't supposed to be on here but was in the building during recording and just showed up to lay down some organ. If you're new to Miles, don't start here unless you're tempted by what I've written above. This is one of his more atypical albums, of which there are many.
