Pete Cosey Dead: Chicago Guitar Great and Miles Davis Collaborator Dies at 68

Posted on May 31st 2012 9:57AM by Cameron Matthew

Pete Cosey, a Chicago session guitarist mostly known for his work with the great Miles Davis, has passed away. The axe man was 68 years old.

According to The Chicago Reader, Cosey "was a classic musician's musician" who played on many amazing blues and jazz albums. He began his career as a guitarist with Chess Records in the 1960s. There he recorded with Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, the Rotary Connection, Phil Cohran and the late Etta James.

Cosey is mostly known for his virtuosic fret work with Miles Davis in the early '70s, playing on the horn blower's more electric albums Agharta, Pangaea, and Get Up With It.

After Davis retired, Cosey struggled to latch onto another big project, despite being featured on Herbie Hancock's Future Shock.

Cosey's angular, and futurist solos will live on through some of jazz music's most enigmatic records.

He played on some of my favorite Miles records. It's a bit strange because I had just had the urge to throw on "Dark Magus" a few days ago. :/
