About
Dark Magus is a live double album by the American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davi. It was recorded on March 30, 1974, at Carnegie Hall in New York City, during the electric period in Davis' career. His group at the time included bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Al Foster, percussionist Mtume, saxophonist Dave Liebman, and guitarists Pete Cosey and Reggie Luca. Davis used the performance to audition saxophonist Azar Lawrence and guitarist Dominique Gaumont. Dark Magus was produced by Teo Macero and featured four two-part recording, titled with the Swahili numerals for numbers one through four. Dark Magus was released after Davis' 1975 retirement, upon which Columbia Records issued a series of albums of his live music and studio outtake. After releasing the Agharta(1975) live recording in the United State, Columbia released the live Pangaea(1976) and Dark Magus (1977) albums only in Japan, through CBS/Sony. The label's A&R executive, Tatsu Nosaki, suggested the album's title, which refers to the Magus from Zoroastrianism. .
