Pangaea is a double album recorded by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis in 1975. Both Pangaea and its sister album, Agharta, were recorded on the same day, February 1, in Osaka, Japan. The Agharta concert took place during an afternoon matinee, whereas Pangaea was recorded in the evening. Later that year, Davis, depressed, exhausted and suffering ever mounting health problems, retreated from the music scene. This makes Agharta and Pangaea his final albums of new material until the 1981 comeback LP The Man with the Horn.
The 1975 LP Japan Edition by CBS include a 7-page booklet with photos and text (in Japanese).
