Cosey shook things up with Miles on the much misunderstood highly combustible and influential 1976 released double album Agharta recorded in the Japanese city of Osaka the year before, an album that purist critics just did not get at that time along with the equally fine companion album Pangaea.

Yeah, Pete Cosey is incredible, easily my favorite guitarist. I wish he would put out a solo album.

I MET PETE AT A CLUB CALED JUST JAZZ ON ARCH STREET IN PHILLY IN 1975 MILES WAS BOOKED FOR FIVE OR SIX NIGHTS STRAIGHT; THE UNIT I PLAYED WITH WENT TO CHECK THE MUSIC OUT A COUPLE NIGHTS; GETTING THERE EARLY PETE WAS USUALLY THE FIRST ONE TO SETUP AND LINE HIS EQUIPMENT.

AT THE TIME HE WAS USING MORLEY PETALS A MUTRON 3 AND AN AMAZING EMS SYNTHI HI FLI GUITAR SYNTH
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BROTHER FOR INVITING ME INTO YOUR WORLD OF SONICS, I STILL USE THE EQUIPMENT THE LINING SEQUENCES AND THE INFORMATION YOU TURNED ME TO; PEACE LOVE HEALTH AND PROSPERITY TO YOU ALWAYS. B
