Industry Reviews
Included in Wire's 50 Records Of The Year [2003]
The Wire (01/01/2004)
...'Right Off' is Davis' last masterpiece; it's a unique combination of raw energy, serendipity and postproduction craft...
JazzTimes (10/01/2003)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Much of it's the equivalent of sparring, especially the skinny funk workouts on the second disc...
Uncut (11/01/2003)
5 stars out of 5 - ...The musicians arrive at destinations light years from where they started....This music is still right on time...
Mojo (11/01/2003)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Davis's playing is as big, riffy and incisive as it ever got, yet still finds itself matched all the way by John McLaughlin's brutalising guitar...
Q (11/01/2003)
...More confident than BITCHES BREW's jams and more free-ranging than AGHARTA and PANGEA, JOHNSON features the trumpeter dropping electric-guitar science while producer Teo Macero cuts and mixes...
Spin (10/01/2003)
Included in Rolling Stone's Top 10 Reissues of 2003 - ...A salute from one great black fighter to another.
