In mid-1970, he joined Miles Davis' band, performing live at the Isle Of Wight festival in August; and at a series of December dates at The Cellar Door club in Washington, D.C. Portions of these shows were initially released on the 1971 "Live-Evil" album, with the entire six performance/four night run eventually released in full on the 2005 "Cellar Door Sessions" box set. He later formed the band Ntu Troop, which combined jazz, funk, and soul.
