Black Magic Man is a live album by multi-instrumentalist and composer Joe McPhee recorded on December 12, 1970 and was the first album released on the Swiss HatHut label in 1975.[1] It was included, in a heavily extended form, on the "Nation Time" 4-CD box set issued by Corbett vs. Dempsey.
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick states "Black Magic Man evinces a McPhee coming very much out of the ecstatic free jazz of the time (especially the late John Coltrane and Albert Ayler) but also wrestling with the implications of rock and the use of electronic instruments in jazz".
