JamesRather than exploding jazz into fusion spectacle, Miles Davis makes electric music feel suspended and almost weightless. The long-form structure, shaped heavily through editing, allows the music to move like weather instead of traditional jazz composition. Joe Zawinul’s electric piano, John McLaughlin’s guitar, and Tony Williams’ drumming create constant motion without obvious climax. The album’s quietness is part of what made it revolutionary; it invites immersion rather than demanding attention. A huge amount of ambient music, post-rock, and experimental jazz can be traced back to the mood this record discovered. It still sounds futuristic because it refuses to rush.
