Miles Davis wrote "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" and put it out in 1970, and one glance at the credits tells you this is no polite little combo. He doubled up on nearly everything: Jack DeJohnette and Don Alias on drums, Harvey Brooks and Dave Holland on electric bass, Chick Corea and Larry Young on electric piano, with Jim Riley on congas and John McLaughlin plugging in on electric guitar.
Over that crowded, electrified floor Davis blows trumpet, with Wayne Shorter on soprano saxophone and Bennie Maupin on bass clarinet. Stanley Tonkell recorded it. With that much rhythm stacked up, it's a record built for churn and heat rather than elbow room.
