during pete cosey's solo on side one of _agharta_ by miles davis [...] the greatest thing i've ever heard come from an electric guitar, either live or on record
Five years after having first read this, I have tracked down
Agharta and can now confirm this claim.
Does anyone know of other work by Cosey? That album and Pangea (recorded the same day) have some really fantastic stuff on them.
He's on Electric Mud, the Muddy Waters record. The other Miles thing he's on, besides Agharta/Pangaea/Dark Magus, is Get Up With It.
He's criminally underrecorded. Maybe he's tough to work with or something.
I think he lives here in Chicago. I was gonna go see him play at the Cubby Bear (!) once, but he canceled.
His shit on Agharta is for the ages. Never been beat.
He's also on parts of Melvin Jackson's
Funky Skull which I just realized the other day.
But jah the Miles stuff, esp
Agharta is godhead
