1628 Miles Davis - Pharaoh's Dance

1628 Miles Davis - Pharaoh's Dance

From: Bitches Brew, Year: 1970
Genre: Jazz Fusion/Jazz

I was thinking about some of the songs off of this album this morning and figured I would pick one of them. This is one of Miles' more experimental albums, which contained sounds you'd continue to hear in the coming decades in Jazz.
On this song, which was written by master keyboardist Joe Zawinul, contains an amazing lineup of musicians and a real interesting arrangement as well: Miles Davis, of course, (trumpet), Joe Zawinul (left piano), Chick Corea (right piano), Larry Young (mid piano), Lenny White (left drums), Jack DeJohnette (Right Drums), John McLaughlin (guitar), Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone), Bernie Maupin (bass clarinet), Dave Holland (double bass), Harvey Brooks (electric bass), Don Alias (congas), and Juma Santos (shaker).
While Miles Davis' music and this album in particular isn't everyone's cup of tea, he and his music has influenced not only Jazz, but in one way or another most music since.
