Who was Pete Cosey?

Pete Cosey was an American guitarist most famous for playing with Miles Davis' band between 1973 and 1975. His fiercely flanged and distorted guitar bore comparisons to Jimi Hendrix. Cosey kept a low profile for much of his career and released no solo recorded works. His unique guitar rhythms were showcased on Davis' albums Get Up with It, Dark Magus, Agharta, Pangaea, and The Complete On the Corner Sessions.
