His connection to the genre, however, went much deeper – and continued for many years.
Davis began adding electric instruments and other sounds more associated with rock n roll early as the
Circle in the Round sessions from 1967. Over the next decade, he d continue to radically re-envision his music, adding elements of funk, world music, R&B and ambient while pulling off one genre-bending, mind-blowing experiment after another. Everything was experimentation, drummer Billy Cobham later told
Jazzwise. There was not one moment that whatever was put on a piece of paper would not be changed.
Rock musicians met him halfway, sitting in on sessions with Davis, sharing huge concert stages and grafting his risk-taking approach into their own projects. Davis played the Isle of Wight Festival, for instance, on a bill that included the Who, the Doors, Chicago and Jimi Hendrix, among others. Cobham later collaborated with Deep Purple guitarist Tommy Bolin.
