by JW June 16, 2003:
This 1970 soundtrack – did anyone ever see this movie I wonder? – is dedicated to Jack Johnson who was a prize fighter at the beginning of the 20th century. It features John McLaughlin on guitar, Michael Henderson on Fender bass, Bill Cobham on drums, Herbie Hancock on keyboards & Hammond organ & Steve Grossman on sax. Well, at least on the 1st track. The 2nd track features a slightly different line-up with Chick Corea , Jack DeJohnette (dr), Bennie Maupin (dr), Sonny Sherrock (g) & Dave Holland (b).
This is electric jazz at its best! Or jazz-rock-funk-fusion. Together with “In A Silent Way” this album could form a bridge to Miles’ more experimental work. Earlier he recorded “Bitches Brew” for example, which in my opinion is less accessible than Jack Johnson. McLaughlin’s guitar work is out-of-this-world & so is the work of the rhythm sections. Henderson is laying some awesome bass foundations! Once these guys get going – & boy do they ever – they won’t let go & keep you spellbound, unable to pause until you sat through the full 26+ minutes of the 1st track. After that I suggest you press ‘pause’ & recompose yourself for the 2nd track. Think about what you’ve just heard. The complicated rhythms, the fantastic solo’s by Miles, the urgent & frantic Hammond Organ fills by HH & that intense & gritty guitar work by JL. The sound quality of the JSACD is beyond reproach with a natural tone, lots of air & detail.
OK. The 2nd track opener. Deep & mysterious, the trumpet solo floats in thin air only supported by a sparse bass rhythm & some guitar chords. At around 2:30 the drums kick in ever so gently, continuing to lay the foundation for Miles’ his slow & pointy solo. There is a contra-point at around 12 minutes which changes the tune & inserts a short version of the 1st track of the “In A Silent Way” album (‘Shhh/Peaceful’, this idea was an editing job by Macero btw). After that they get funky for the last 6 minutes of the tune, closing at 24 minutes with a tuneful & somber brass section that sometimes reminds me of the mysterious backdrops Morricone wrote for his Westerns.
A Masterpiece.
