Miles Davis - Pangaea

Two CD reissue of this 1976 live album from the jazz legend. Both Pangaea and it's predecessor Agharta were recorded on February 1, in Osaka, Japan, at the Festival Hall. The Agharta concert took place during an afternoon matinee, whereas Pangaea was recorded in the evening. The band: Sonny Fortune, saxophones, Pete Cosey (who also played synth) and Reggie Lucas on guitars, Michael Henderson on bass, Al Foster on drums, James "Mtume" Foreman on percussion, and Miles Davis on trumpet and organ. Featuring only two resounding epic tracks which run for nearly two hours, 'Zimbabwe' and 'Gondwana' gives the listener it's unique and primitive kind of 'Afro futurism', a brand of jazz-funk that only Miles can deliver.
