Jazz Side 1. Prelude (part 1) Side 2. Prelude (part 2) Side 3. Interlude/Maiysha Side 4. Theme From Jack Johnson
Recorded in Osaka during an afternoon performance in 1975, this searing live session captures US jazz visionary Miles Davis in full rupture mode. His septet-featuring Sonny Fortune, Michael Henderson, Al Foster, James Mtume, Reggie Lucas and the incendiary Pete Cosey-abandons traditional form for something wilder, darker and more combustible. On 'Prelude', riffs collapse into molten polyrhythms, with Davis hovering at the fringes while the band drives forward like a storm system. 'Interlude / Maiysha' cools momentarily into a woozy, psychedelic slow jam before building again, while 'Theme From Jack Johnson' returns to the jagged propulsion of his earlier electric period. The standout is Cosey: his guitar work on this recording, distorted and wrung through wah, predicts noise, punk-funk and post-rock in one furious blur. Produced by Teo Macero and long a touchstone for jazz experimentalists, it remains one of Davis's most challenging-and rewarding-recordings.
