Jazz-rock of the highest order...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2013

Verified Purchase

'Jack Johnson' essentially consists of two extended funky jazz-rock vamps.Despite its vintage(1970)It is an album that still sounds very fresh and ahead of its time,primarily because of the quality of musicianship and the simplicity of conception.It follows in the same vein as 'In a Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew' and other Miles albums of the late 60's recording the band live in the studio leaving producer Teo Macero to fashion a finished artifact out of the resulting jams. The focus is not so much on composition as spontaneous creativity.Miles here is using the rawness and dynamism of rock coupled with the rhythmic pulse of funk to create a unique sense of excitement,space and opportunity for individual expression.We get to hear for instance, how guitarist John Mclaughlin uses a very catchy yet acerbic rhythmic figure on 'Right Off' to propel the band into musical orbit, drawing some very fiery wah-wah trumpet from Miles as a result.Likewise on 'Yesternow' Michael Henderson offers up a variety of repeated funk based bass lines inspiring the band into some very interesting and often off-kilter ideas.

Once this CD gets in your player,you'll be caught up in the immediacy of it all.The inventiveness and excitement never flags.I believe that 'Jack Johnson' is one of the most underrated Miles Davis productions. The band are superb, the music taut with many moments of limpid beauty and the remastering job, brilliantly done.Highly recommended.

Anglian Traveller

The definitive jazz album for rock fans

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2015

If you’re a rock music fan who has listened with an open mind but never really warmed to jazz, this could be the album which unlocks the door for you. Miles Davis’ ground-breaking fusion period book-ended by ‘In a Silent Way’ in 1969 and ‘Agharta’ in 1975 is normally associated with his best-seller ‘Bitches Brew’, but ‘A Tribute to Jack Johnson’ is a hidden gem from this period.

To many this is "not real jazz" but more like a rock album. No written melodic compositions underscore this music; the action is purely on the improvisational interplay of these virtuoso jazz musicians over rock/funk/blues rhythms; fusion at its purest. The ace rhythm section of 19-year old Michael Henderson on electric bass and Billy Cobham on drums lay down a heavy rock-funk groove on `Right Off', the explosive 27-minute opener, over which Miles' trumpet and Steve Grossman's soprano sax soar in complex patterns, ably supported by John McLaughin's raunchy guitar riffs. Miles' playing here is possibly his best-ever, full of inventive improvisational musical phrases delivered one after another with a power and conviction that pins you to the wall. Only the normally excellent Herbie Hancock is not on top form; he dropped by the studio on his way back from the grocery store and was co-opted to play a contribution on a rough-sounding Farfisa electric organ. Unprepared, he thumps out some chords and simple phrases for three minutes to fit in with the improvisation, and departs.

The album contains only two long pieces. The second ‘Yesternow’ begins quieter in tone, builds to a crescendo and then subsides; a fine dynamic complement to the full-on ‘Right Off.’ Here McLaughlin is on top form, his trademark super-fast guitar licks engaging in an energetic dialogue with Miles’ inventive phrases on the trumpet. You can hear sections from the ‘In a Silent Way’ recordings spliced in, and they fit with the groove of the piece.

This single-disk CD was spliced together by the excellent editing of Teo Macero from different sessions, and you have to say he did a fine job (Miles concurred with his customary bluntness by telling Teo “I like it…you did it again, motherf*****”). Macero was ahead of his time in viewing recording sessions as a film editor would treat film footage, producing a seamless and highly atmospheric piece of work edited together from several hours of improvisational playing. If you want the entire unedited originals, seek out the 5-disk box set ‘The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions.’

Mr. Clifton Jones

Miles's Best Jazz Rock Album?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2021

Critical theory seems to have changed. In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew were the albums normally named as Miles's classic Jazz-Rock albums, but these days many critics are starting to look at this as the best from that period. And listening to it I think I agree. Excellent supporting musicians (including John McLaughlin and Billy Cobhamm who would soon form Mahavishnu Orchestra), and Miles at his finest.

Miles Rocks!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2014

Although having just set the world alight with two revolutionary pieces of work, 1969’s In A Silent Way and 1970’s Bitches Brew, I can’t help thinking that when the 'fans’ first heard Miles’ 1971 tribute to 'black icon’ and world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson, 'babies’ and 'bathwater’ were tripping off tongues. Billy Cobham’s pounding drums and John McLaughlin’s staccato guitar licks at the start of the 'first side’, the 27-minute Davis composition Right Off, seemed to indicate that the man had gone the whole hog and crossed over fully into the rock genre! Of course, ten minutes further in and this became patently untrue – more of a rock beat certainly, but with a rhythmic complexity and level of improvisational dexterity unmistakeably grounded in jazz.

For me, regardless of (frankly meaningless) debates around genre, Jack Johnson stands as a stunning blend of the highpoints of Miles’ 'electric period’ – during the album’s ‘other tune’ (the 25-minute Yesternow) a use of spacing akin to In A Silent Way or Bitches Brew’s Sanctuary or Feio and elsewhere on the album a Sly Stone-influenced funky backbeat (courtesy of Cobham and Michael Henderson’s electric bass) that Davis was to explore more fully (but less succinctly) on On The Corner. That Davis was able to produce (with the invaluable help of ace producer and 'musical director’ Teo Macero) such a set of intoxicating and coherent improvisations is yet another testament to the man’s musical genius. Indeed, his entire band excels on Jack Johnson – Davis’ open horn playing is (arguably) as good (and dynamic) as anywhere else in his canon, McLaughlin effectively reinvents what is possible on electric guitar, Steve Grossman delivers some mesmerising soprano saxophone and Herbie Hancock masters his Farfisa organ brilliantly, which, given that he hadn’t even seen the instrument before Miles 'invited’ him to play during a session (as described in Bill Milkowski’s hilarious sleeve notes), is another notable achievement for the album.

With Jack Johnson, Davis continued his musical progression and development – a process that (in total) he was to follow over six decades, leading to a musical career arguably as significant as any in the 20th century.

Jazz rock that...rocks!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2013

Somewhat more understated and infinitely more gleeful than 'Bitches Brew', often finding itself overshadowed by that undeniably classic Milestone, this really is the one where the term 'jazz-rock&' starts to make some sort of makes sense, should you care to pigeonhole. Concise, clipped and powerful and seeming too short by far the record leaves me eager for more. Jack Johnson sets up a 'groove' from start to finish and makes for rich, compulsive listening. I find myself wishing, occasionally, that I'd splashed out on the boxset although that might, possibly, have robbed this central gem of some of its mystery and allure...an embarassment of treasures, as it were. In a matter of months Miles had left the jazz world reeling in the aftermath of 'In A Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew'. This presented yet another fascinating glimpse into the constant evolution of Miles' creative processes and, therefore, is indispensable to even the most casual fan of the Man's work. Gorgeous!!
