Torrent description

By Rod Sibley

The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions, Columbia's latest
addition to the Miles Davis reissue series, documents the period
from January 27, 1970 to June 4, 1970 and contains unedited
takes from the sessions plus previously unreleased material.

A bit of background: Jack Johnson was the world heavyweight
boxing champion from 1908-1915. Miles felt an affinity toward
Johnson; not only because Miles himself boxed, but because of
the racial issues of being a Black man in America both men
faced. Director William Clayton made a documentary movie
about Johnson's life. A Tribute To Jack Johnson is the
soundtrack to the film. The album was released in the summer
of 1971.

A Tribute To Jack Johnson was a continuation of Miles' musical
direction away from more traditional jazz forms. The densely
layered music of Bitches Brew, recorded in August of 1969, was
stripped down and became funkier and more groove oriented.
The music also incorporated more elements of rock with the
guitar work of John McLaughlin. For listeners whose only Miles
Davis recording is Kind Of Blue and want to hear some "electric
Miles," The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions may be the
starting point to work your way backward, as well as forward,
through the Miles Davis catalog

Disc Four: May-June 1970

Depending on your taste, Disc Four will be a hit or miss affair.
The music starts shifting from being guitar-dominant to
keyboard-rich. Jarrett plays his electric piano with a lot of
distortion and sometimes overwhelms the music, particularly on
one the two takes of "Ali." But when he turns it down, as he
does on the tune "Konda," you finally hear how beautiful his
playing can be. However, these pieces are either overly long or
don't seem to have a sense of direction.

The two takes of "Little High People" show the interaction
between Jarrett and Chick Corea [both were in Miles' band for a
short period] and the contrasts in their comping and solo styles.
Also of note is the use by Miles of a device that adds a suboctave
to the tone of his trumpet on these tracks.

The rest of the fourth CD contains different takes of "Nem Um
Talvez" ("Not Even A Maybe") and "Selim" ("Miles" spelled
backward); both written and arranged by Brazilian musician
Hermeto Pascoal. Also included are two takes of "Little
Church," by Miles. They were originally released on the Live-
Evil album. One hopes that the reason they are presented here,
besides being part of this box sets recording chronology, is so
they won't be included on a future Cellar Door/Live-Evil box set.
Your mileage will vary regarding your enjoyment of these
pieces.
