Pangaea is a live album by American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. It was originally released as a double album in 1976 by CBS/Sony in Japan.

 

Recorded during Davis' electric period, the album captures the second of two concerts he performed on February 1, 1975, at Osaka's Festival Hall. As with the first concert (captured on the 1975 album Agharta), Davis led a band featuring guitarists Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas, saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Al Foster, and percussionist James Mtume.

 

Both Pangaea and its predecessor Agharta were recorded on February 1, 1975, in Osaka, Japan, at the Festival Hall. The Agharta concert took place during an afternoon matinee, whereas Pangaea was recorded in the evening. This album's music was split into two tracks, 'Zimbabwe' and 'Gondwana', the latter of which was the name of the ancient supercontinent, as was 'Pangaea'. According to discographer Peter Losin, the first track contains performances of 'Turnaroundphrase', 'Tune in 5', 'Turnaroundphrase' again, 'Tune in 5' again and 'Zimbabwe' (not to be confused with the actual medley recording's title). The second track contains performances of 'Ife', and 'For Dave (Mr. Foster)', performed in that order.
