The 2nd single from Cosmic Trip — the new album by legendary Miles Davis saxophonist Sam Morrison. Blazing heat meets cool, edgy electric sound in a vivid reflection of his genius. Mix-translation by iconic producer Bill Laswell.
In Sam’s own words: "Music comes to me from somewhere outside and inside my mind. I incorporated all the sounds I have available in old and new ways. Soprano sax and synths wind around the angular melody. High Blood Pressure is A very representative example of my style."
