To be honest, I don't like this album, that isn't because I don't like fusion. I like fusion (John Mclaughlin, Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim etc)It doesnt have to be Jazz-rock, fusion could be Latin Jazz or R'n'B jazz etc.But this album, Miles introduces free jazz invented by Ornette Coleman and in my view this type of jazz is all mixed up. One instrument is doing its own thing while another is doing its other thing. Theres no structure to it and in my view it is shocking to listen to and I don't like any of the songs. Other albums like Kind of Blue, E.S.P, Tutu, Amandla are 100% better. Yet a lot of these musicians are in my view some of the best and have invented the best groups; Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter : Weather Report. John Mclaughlin : Mahavishnu Orchestra. Chick Corea : Return to Forever. These are great bands.
But on this album, it just isn't my kind of jazz. The fusion period was heavily influenced by drugs and this eventually came to Miles hitting creative burnout and giving up for 5 years in 1975.
That just is my view, many people may like this album and thats fine, people are entitled to their own opinion.
A truly landmark Jazz Fusion Release
