Studio album and soundtrack by the American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader, originally released in February 1971. The album was conceived by Davis for Bill Cayton's documentary of the same name, on the life of boxer Jack Johnson. Its two 25-minute-plus tracks were produced from recordings made on February 18 and April 7, 1970, at 30th Street Studio in New York City. Davis was inspired by the political and racial subtext of Johnson's saga as well as the hard rock and funk sounds of his own era, leading a rock-inspired line-up of musicians in the studio: guitarists John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock, keyboardists Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, clarinetist Bennie Maupin, and drummers Jack DeJohnette and Billy Cobham.

Track Listing:
1. Right Off - Miles Davis (26.54)
2. Yesternow - Miles Davis (25.36)

Year of Production: 1971

  • Miles Davis' A Tribute to Jack Johnson is the best jazz-rock record ever made. Inspired equally by the bandleader's desire to assemble "the greatest rock 'n' roll band you've ever heard" and his reverence for Johnson, Davis crafted a hard-hitting set brimming with excitement, intensity, majesty and power. Combining the electric fusion he'd pursued on earlier works with a funkier, dirtier rhythmic approach, Davis focuses on concepts of spontaneity, freedom, and identity rarely achieved in the studio.
    Guitarist John McLaughlin's use of wah-wah and distortion comes across here with a sharp blade, a cutting style and a biting attitude that allows A Tribute to Jack Johnson to finally cross the line between rock and jazz. Davis puts both feet in the former camp, finally erasing any divide. The album features not only McLaughlin's stirr
