Miles Davis – Sorcerer (1967)

October 10, 2021

I love me some Miles Davis and the 60s into 70s (seemingly) free-form experimentation phase was my absolute favourite era. Sorcerer however, seems a bit listless and lacking purpose. Sure, there are passages like this on some of the more out-there Davis records, but Sorcerer suffers from this ailment for most of its runtime. Couple that with the horrendous closing track which just kills the vibe, and you’ve got a contender for least favourite 60s Davis record right here.

I’ve read online that listening to the mono version and even skipping the final track, can both greatly improve this record. But shit, if this thing isn’t popping out at me in stereo, I’m hardly inspired to go and do either of those things.
