Hart - drums Jack DeJohnette - drums Carlos Garnett - tenor sax Digitally Remastered On the Corner is Miles Davis's most controversial album. Jazz purists detest the album, dismissing it out of hand for the very reason that its fans celebrate it - there are no fully formed songs on the record, just funky rhythmic vamps. Davis assembled a large group of musicians, who aren't credited on the record, and had them play one groove, which demonstrated a heavy debt to Sly Stone. Miles rarely plays trumpet on the record, and when he does, it is distorted and processed. Instead, he plays organ, blending into the dense, electric funk. None of the players take extended solos and all of the songs are brief, but improvisation isn't the point of the record. On the Corner is about funk and rhythm, not about jazz. With this record, Davis laid the foundation of the genre-blurring hip-hop and acid jazz revolutions in popular music in the '80s and '90s. |
