Miles Davis - Get Up With It (1974) torrent

Between the recording of “In A Silent Way” (1969) and “Agharta” & “Panganaea” (1975), Miles Davis’ music took a number of turns and jumps: the electrified jazz of “Bitches Brew” (1970), the swaggering rock of “Jack Johnson” (1970), the kaleidoscopic funk of “On the Corner” (1972), and then there was “Get Up With It” (1974).

On the surface, “Get Up With It”, spanning 1970 – 1974, looks like just a collection of outtakes. But the material here wouldn’t have fit on any of the previous albums, yet here it pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle. It goes from ethereal to frantic to electrifying soloing. There’s even a blues tune. It ranges from funk to spooky ambience to driving jams, with extreme dedication to locating a very specific groove.

And of all the albums Miles Davis released then, the only one to capture the entire freewheeling sense of change and exploration is still “Get Up With It”.
Essential, a must-have.
