Miles Davis - Champions (Rare Miles From The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions) (2021) [24bit FLAC]

That's Miles Davis in the boxing ring on the cover – quite a fitting image, given that the material here comes from his sessions recorded in tribute to the legendary Jack Johnson! All work here appears on vinyl for the first time ever – material that was not on the original album, but recorded during the sessions – with very dynamic energy by a group that features Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett on piano, Bennie Maupin and Wayne Shorter on reeds, John McLaughlin on guitar, Dave Holland on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums! Titles include two takes of "Ali", plus "Duran (take 4)", "Sugar Ray", "Johnny Bratton (take 4)", and "Right Off (take 11)".
