"This is the greatest electric funk-rock jazz record ever made -- period." ~ Thom Jurek, AllMusic
Limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent blue coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Agharta was recorded on the afternoon in 1975, at one of two concerts Miles Davis performed at the Osaka Festival Hall in Japan. Miles performed with his septet-flautist and saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Al Foster, percussionist James Mtume, guitarist Reggie Lucas, and Pete Cosey, who played guitar, synthesizer, and percussion. Produced and recorded by Teo Macero, the album's four seemingly unstructured segments emphasize the playing of Davis' sidemen rather than his own trumpet. It eschews both melody and harmony in favor of a combination of riffs, crossing polyrhythms, and Funk-oriented grooves for soloists to improvise throughout. The album has received retrospective acclaim as an important and influential Jazz-Rock record.
The capstone of Miles Davis electric period, Agharta reigns as a funk-rock fireball a blazing comet streaked energy and elan, a fearless organism feasting on adventure and freedom, a seven-headed Godzilla stomping its way through Osaka, Japan. Recorded on February 1, 1975 at Osaka Festival Hall at the first of a two-show stand, the double album offers an endless abundance of surprises and shifts as well as a road-proven ensemble whose chemistry and abilities equal that of any of Davis celebrated bands.
If the true measure of jazz is the capacity to adapt to the moment and challenge perception, Agharta is consummate...
