pete cosey

jon teague recently reminded me of one of the great underrated gtrists of the '70s: pete cosey, who stylistically fits somewhere 'twixt eddie hazel 'n' sonny sharrock, and whose f/x-laden romps through exotic scales 'n' modes colored muddy waters' initially-reviled-but-since-rehabilitated electric mud alb, as well as the series of miles davis albs that preceded the trumpeters' mid-'70s retirement (get up with it, dark magus, agharta, pangaea). just stumbled on some ints the chicago reader did with him in 1997 and 2003. i must go back and hear that music again sometime.
