Big Fun

Miles Davis

Recorded over three years, this 1974 double album acts as a sprawling scrapbook of studio experimentation. Musicians like Herbie Hancock and John McLaughlin contribute to the sessions.

Teo Macero used heavy-handed tape editing to provide a hypnotic, loop-like flow. The resulting jazz-fusion captures a textured, improvisational spirit that defines the mid-seventies movement.
