Back to the OP --- The stuff above is really great stuff, but my mind was really blown when I first heard Agharta/Pangea - On the Corner and the other similar studio stuff is cool, but the live stuff that Columbia was releasing is just mind blowing. Dark, funky, swampy, smack-dreamy stuff like Agharta (and Pangea - both recorded on the same day - ) just floored me the first time I heard them. I had no idea that there was anything like that. It just doesn't sound like anything - jazz or otherwise. Absolutely fantastic. Don't limit yourself to the studio stuff that's out there. Miles' live records from the '70s are just - singular things. There's nothing like that out there. When I first heard Agharta/Pangea ( Live/Evil , too), I was just getting into "jazz". I was a huge MBV and shoegaze fan and that stuff really fit into that - maybe more than anything. Do yourself a favor - get Agharta and/or Pangea . Incredible music. Seriously. Unlike anything... Aside from the hard bop era, Miles never did anything that was just as amazing. Crazy/cool stuff. Yeah.

THIS! "Dark Magus," as well. Pete Cosey love.
