Go Ahead John: Great Expectations is an album by Miles Davis that showcases his mastery of jazz fusion. Released in 1998, the album is a compilation of previously unreleased recordings from 1970-1971.
The album features a range of talented musicians, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter, keyboardist Chick Corea, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The tracks are a mix of original compositions and covers of popular songs, such as "Honky Tonk" by Bill Doggett.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Go Ahead John," which features Davis on trumpet and electric piano. The song is a slow burn that gradually builds in intensity, with Davis' trumpet leading the charge.
