thanks to Teo

Jack DeJohnette- all over this

[pbanders]

When I was a 16 year-old kid in 1974, I bought this album over the strenuous objections of my mom, who thought the cover was obscene. My friends all thought I was nuts listening to it, just like the other stuff I was listening to. I never had a single friend for decades who listened to anything like it. How times have changed.

[drummer2507]

MILES AHEAD ALWAYS.

[myway43]

Forgive my ignorance here, bujt who was Miles Guitar player?

[grandmasterkrush]

@myway43 John McLaughlin

[Sodomates]

@myway43 Miles used half a dozen or so guitar players during the Fusion years. Most of the relevant wikipedia articles have full personnel listings so I won't reproduce them here. On this particular track it's John Mclaughlin.

[Bravo6Whiskey]

Miles loves kicking Wynton Marsalis' punk ass, even from the grave. Go ahead, Cool Papa Miles, keep on kickin' Wynton Marsalis punk ass! Stomp on it, Cool Papa Miles. MILES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teddyb1939]

@Bravo6Whiskey I love Miles but Wynton Marsalis is also a great trumpeter. I would think Miles would have admired another talented musician. I know & agree with you. There is only one Miles.

[seerskater]

that panning shit rules in my opinion

[GITTZA]

@seerskater I agree and especially with great expectations.

[SilvertoneKevin]

I think Teo Marcero is the one who did all the panning shit. How ill is Jack D's drumming though?

[L0K3]

love the song hate the panning /crossfading worst idea miles davis ever came up with to do that

[holdersteven]

Miles went places most others denied even existed.

[billyshitcheese2]

@holdersteven like where?

[videocanone]

One of my favorite tracks of this part of Miles career. Loved the panning on my Advents in the 70's sitting up in my room after school ! Some of the best drumming ever in my book, love JM's use of the wah on his guitar. Great album sound overall. The tape loop stuff later in the tune is simply awesome with them soloing against themselves.

[oldlampsfornew]

The drum panning is fine but if I listen to this on headphones, the guitar solo gives me a headache. Too much flying around from ear to ear to keep track of it. On a stereo system it sounds uber though

[Bryteraven]

great sax intro by steve grossman..

[masterofallhesurveys]

@Bryteraven

Steve Grossman tears the shit out me. I love his style,it's like he's composing my state of mind in a riff.

Fucking genius.

[funkagent]

This is............amazing

[guiomji]

Mclaughlin playing amazing side guitar line, miles' solo is very inspired (superb) and Dejohnette beats simply is 30 years ahead...real big fun...a bit heavy on the use of panning to my taste!

[Deito25]

great use of panning

[TheTralfaz]

@Deito25 ...theres nothing worse than critics who pan the panning...god im funny

[scoutinternational]

The real FAIL was music critics at the time of the albums release. Unbelievably, this fantastic album was generally dismissed by critics as subpar at the time of release.

40 years ahead of its time is more like it.

[BongoFury33]

Can't top this!

[GeezerYoung]

Thanx to the Colombia record club, this gem was sent to us as an "extra" (free) with the monthly order. circa 1971.

Simply amazing, can't say enough about this song, been in love with this TRACK since the Fall of 1994...beautiful

[TaipeiDawg]

I'm a guitar player and love John's playing to death always, but I have to admit it's the drums that really put this tune over the top.

[SurvivedApp]

:LOL :FAIL

[TaipeiDawg]

@SurvivedApp The real 'fail' is that artists these days don't have the guts to put out music that pushes the envelope.

[DrGonzoOBoogie]

@TaipeiDawg right I feel the same way, I would love to see any band just come out with a new sound

[008fox]

@DrGonzoOBoogie Don't worry guys, my generation will do that within the next 15 years.

[poondoggin]

YES! this is such a good song! Johns guitar line is absolutely scorching
