The evening session — after Agharta — live in Osaka. Free, thick, staggering voodoo funk. From 1975 — the last new music Miles would release for six years.

An afternoon in Osaka, 1975. With an On The Corner kind of gang — Sonny Fortune, Pete Cosey, Reggie Lucas, Michael Henderson, Al Foster and Mtume. ‘The greatest electric funk-rock jazz record ever made’ (Allmusic).
LP from Music On Vinyl.

The LP is Mono.

From 1957… with Monk and Milt Jackson on the title-track; Rollins and Horace Silver on the rest.

Spanning 1955 to 1970. The eighteen-minute closer — a giddying version of a David Crosby song — is essential, out of this world. If you don’t know it, you should spring for this CD without hesitation.

LP from Music On Vinyl.

With Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams.

At Fillmore West in 1970 with Airto, Steve Grossman, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette (just before Keith Jarrett joined). The Bitches Brew sound.

‘Classic Vinyl series.’

His first proper LP, recorded in 1955; with Red Garland, Oscar Pettiford, and Philly Joe Jones.
