Imagining the 1970 Miles Davis & Jimi Hendrix Album: 22 tracks of psych jazz and jazz rock fusion.

Imagining the 1970 Miles Davis & Jimi Hendrix Album: 22 tracks of psych jazz and jazz rock fusion.

Since the Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix studio record never came to be, I made this playlist to approximate what the collab coulda sounded like. It spans electric-era Miles, late-era Hendrix jams with Larry Young and Dave Holland, Santana, Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Tony Williams Lifetime, Frank Zappa, and more. The image is the cover art that Mati Klarwein (*Bitches Brew*, *Live-Evil*, and *Abraxas*) had created for the project.

The playlist:
