Miles Davis had an enduring passion for boxing, often drawing parallels between “the sweet science” and his musical journey. One of his standout recordings is the 1971 soundtrack for the Bill Cayton documentary on Jack Johnson, reflecting the rich political and racial narratives surrounding the legendary boxer. This collection, extracted from the celebrated The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions, features funk-infused tracks that resonate with intensity and energy.
Including iconic references to boxing legends like Ali, Sugar Ray, and Duran, this album showcases a stellar ensemble of musicians such as Wayne Shorter, John McLaughlin, and Herbie Hancock. For the first time ever, this vibrant music is available on vinyl in an eye-catching opaque yellow, limited to just 7,500 copies in the U.S. It’s a standout piece among the best jazz vinyl records for collectors.
