About this album

Big Fun is a sprawling and essential Miles Davis release from his early-1970s electric period. Drawn from sessions recorded between 1969 and 1972, the album gathers long-form performances that blur jazz, funk and modal improvisation into a restless, exploratory whole. With players such as Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin and others circulating through the sessions, Davis pushes beyond conventional jazz structures towards dense group interaction and studio experimentation. First issued in 1974, it stands as an important companion to his more famous fusion albums and a revealing document of how far he had stretched the music by then.
