Miles Davis - A Tribute To Jack Johnson (1971)

 Recorded as the soundtrack to a documentary about the legendary boxer Jack Johnson, A Tribute To Jack Johnson captures the spirit of defiance and innovation through extended improvisations and raw energy. Featuring standout contributions from John McLaughlin on guitar and Michael Henderson on bass, the album’s two long tracks, “Right Off” and “Yesternow,” highlight Davis’s ability to lead a band through uncharted musical territory. This is some visceral and engaging stuff from Miles and sort of crucial if you’re into music,

Early US repress on Columbia.
