Miles Davis doesn't get half
a chance around here. If you
try and play one of his albums
on the machine in the dark side
of the Crib good luck. You'll
receive at least 10 or 12. "What
kind of music is that ?" stares,
and it will probably be
rejected.
Even the progressive FM
station neglects most of Miles"
music. And most people (while
"grooving" to Steppenwolf or
the Moody Blues) will tell you
that they just can't get into
that "I mean, after all it's
noise,"
This is all too unfortunate,
for Davis is probably one of
the most talented musicians on
the scene today. While it is true
that the Live at Fillmore and
Bitches Brew albums require
some concentrated listening in

order to be appreciated, once
the transition is made, it's well
worth the trip.
Jack Johnson is for those
people that Miles hasn't
reached earlier. There is a
definite form present in the
music here. This is the type ot
jazz most people are more
comfortable with. But
adherence to a more standard
form doesn't keep Miles from
developing the torce and,
dynamism that sparkles
throughout his music.
Jack Johnson is. of course, a
movie about the famous
fighter, and naturally the music
reflects this. Miles, a good
boxer in his own right, aptly
scores a series of matches, with
his fine trumpet and John
McLaughlin's guitar trading
blows, ducking, sliding around
and glancing off each other.
Jack Bruce, rock's finest
bass player, lays down a rugged
beat, with Steve Grossman,
soprano sax, Herbie Hancock,
organ, and Bill Cobham tside
one) and Jack DeJohnette (side
two, all providing more than
adequate accompaniment.
The music is mostly hard,
fast and exciting, just as
Johnson's life. Although Bruce
and McLaughlin stand out.
they are still under the reign of
Miles' hom, which is all right
with me.
This album may be
neglected by many, some
because of their doubts
concerning soundtrack music,
others because of preconceived
ideas ?bout Miles. Both types
should drop their prejudices
and give this album a listen.
You're missing too much if
y ou don't.
