Miles Davis's final studio statement. A collision of legendary trumpet phrasing and early 90s hip-hop production that defined the acid jazz era.
Hip-hop crossover
Muted brass cuts through the heavy, humid crackle of street-corner drum loops. You are listening to a late-night collision of jazz and early hip-hop, recorded just before the horn went quiet forever.
Instead of the fluid, real-time group interplay of his classic eras, the trumpet here rides on a starkly modern foundation of sample based loops and heavy street beats.
Reception was genuinely divided, with strong admirers and notable detractors.
