Miles Davis' A Tribute to Jack Johnson is the best jazz-record ever made
Equally inspired by the leader's desire to assemble the "greatest rock and roll band you have ever heard" as well as his adoration of Johnson, Davis created a hard-hitting set that spills over with excitement, intensity, majesty, and power
Bridging the electric fusion he'd pursued on earlier efforts with a funkier, dirtier rhythmic approach, Davis zeroes in on concepts of spontaneity, freedom, and identity seldom achieved in the studio
Mobile Fidelity's sterling reissue brings it all to fore with unsurpassed realism
Indeed, utilizing wah-wah and distortion, guitarist John McLaughlin comes on here with a nasty edge, slashing style, and vicious streak that allows A Tribute to Jack Johnson finally cross the divide between rock and jazz
Davis puts both feet in the former camp and permanently erasing any gap
In addition to highlighting McLaughlin's ripping performances, Mobile Fidelity's reissue showcases the headliner's white-hot trumpet solos like never before
Bristling with exuberance, Davis' high-register passages explode with authority and commanding presence
Around him, a barrage of urgent backbeats, knifing riffs, and three-dimensional bass lines emerge amidst an ink-black background
