Pete Cosey, a jazz guitarist who was best known for his work in Miles Davis’ electric band in the 1970s has died aged 68.<\/p>\n

His daughter said he died at a Chicago hospital of complications from surgery on 30 May.<\/p>\n

During the 1960s Cosey was a member of the studio band for Chess Records, playing for the likes of Etta James, Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters.<\/p>\n

But it was his creative sound that attracted the attention of Davis.<\/p>\n

He liberally applied the distortion pedal to his licks, punctuated by wah-wah effects, and appeared on some of Davis’ most experimental albums including Agharta, Pangaea, Get Up With It and Dark Magus.<\/p>\n

“Pete’s sound was something quite amazing,” Wendy Oxenhorn, from the Jazz Foundation of America\u00a0told the Chicago Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He took blues, funk, rap and jazz and combined it into a new sound.”<\/p>\n
