Era & Context

Mid-1970s. Davis increasingly reclusive and unwell. The music became darker, denser, and more alienating before his retirement.

Career Phase

Electric Revolution 1969-1975

Radical electrification. Fusion of jazz with rock, funk, and electronic textures. Alienated jazz purists, anticipated ambient and electronic music.

Distant Connections (2)

A second layer for farther resonances: connections that may not sound closest at first, but still point somewhere useful.
