It was recorded on the afternoon of February 1, 1975, at one of two concerts Davis performed at the Osaka Festival Hall in Japan; the evening show produced his 1976 live album Pangaea. He performed with his septet—flautist and saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Al Foster, percussionist James Mtume, guitarist Reggie Lucas, and Pete Cosey, who played guitar, synthesizer, and percussion.The concert was recorded by Sony Records under the supervision of Teo Macero, who produced Agharta. The album's four seemingly unstructured segments emphasize the playing of Davis' sidemen rather than his own trumpet and eschews both melody and harmony in favor of a combination of riffs, crossing polyrhythms, and funk-oriented grooves for soloists to improvise throughout. The evolving nature of their improvisations led to the widespread misunderstanding that the music had no compositional basis.Agharta was first released in Japan by CBS/Sony in August 1975 after Davis had retired. Sony's Japanese division suggested its title, Agharta, which is a mythological subterranean utopia. Davis asked Japanese artist Tadanori Yokoo to design the artwork, which depicts the cityscape of an advanced civilization and draws on both Eastern subterranean myths and Afrofuturism. An alternate cover was produced for the album's 1976 release in North America by Columbia Records.Although Agharta was widely panned by critics upon its release, the album was later acclaimed as an important and influential jazz-rock record. Its abrasive music and Cosey's innovative playing influenced a generation of young musicians, including those in the British jazz scene. The album was reissued by Columbia Records in 1991, and in 2009, it was remastered as a part of Sony Legacy's box set project, Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection."@en }
