Jack DeJohnette, jazz drummer who played with Miles Davis on ‘Bitches Brew,’ dies at 83

During the late 1960s and early 70s, DeJohnette played drums with Miles Davis, alongside other prominent musicians like Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter. He infused Davis’s music with energetic psychedelic rock and funk, connecting it to the sounds of artists such as James Brown and Sly Stone. Beyond his work on the recently honored “Bitches Brew,” DeJohnette contributed to Davis’s albums “At Fillmore,” “Live-Evil,” and “On the Corner.” While “On the Corner” initially received negative reviews, it’s now celebrated as a groundbreaking jazz-funk recording.
