DARK MAGUS

I struggled with this one. For the longest time, I didn't feel equipped to say anything about this album. My life has been all about rock and pop. I only started to listen to Jazz close to my 30s and then only sparingly.

But I decided I could say something about this album. How I feel about it and how I experience it. It boggles my mind that Miles and his band played this as an improvisation from start to end. It makes it only more special to know how unprepared Miles Davis was. Here they are. Pushing the boundaries of music off the cuff.

I only came across this album 50 years later, through Progarchives. For weeks, it is the only record I play and I discover something new every time. From the beginning right until the frantic end.
