Press
This is the kind of album that gives you faith in the future of music. It is not rock and roll, but it’s nothing stereotyped as jazz either.
By now I was using the wah-wah on my trumpet all the time so I could get closer to that voice Jimi had when he used a wah-wah on his guitar.
In its current form, Miles’ music bubbles and boils like some gigantic cauldron.
Miles is a magician. When almost all of his contemporaries not only dismissed rock but R&B as somehow beneath their notice, Miles bought Sly Stone records and went to hear Jimi Hendrix.
Angry, dissociated, funky, and the best Davis music since Jack Johnson.
From 1975 until early 1980 I didn’t pick up my horn; for over four years, didn’t pick it up once.
