Among the most controversial recordings in the history of jazz, BITCHES BREW was Miles Davis' shot across the bow of jazz insularity, a bold statement about jazz's ability to draw upon elements of popular culture, without mitigating its spirit of spontaneous invention. Much as Ornette Coleman's THE SHAPE OF JAZZ TO COME set a new standard for harmonic and melodic freedom a decade before, BITCHES BREW signaled a sea change in jazz.Davis became a lightning rod for jazz's transformation, by mixing the...

Thought by many to be the most revolutionary album in jazz history, having virtually created the genre known as jazz-rock fusion (for better or worse) and being the jazz album to most influence rock and funk musicians, Bitches Brew is, by its very nature, mercurial. The original double LP included only six cuts and featured up to 12 musicians at any given time, most of whom would go on to be high-level players in their own right: Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Airto, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Jack...

The result was unlike any music heard before or since. A complete rejection of traditional songs, chord progressions, or even melodic conventions, Miles' new thing signaled that music could be just layers of texture and sound. With all of music going through an upheaval, the trippiness of Bitches Brew snared a lot of new listeners, thanks to underground rock stations that took to it.

Score. Since day one of the Lab, I have been waiting for a reissue of Bitches Brew . Ten years later, it's been done up proper with this Legacy 180g double vinyl gatefold pressing (the best kind). The time period really puts things in perspective. As I am writing this, my umpteenth blurb, I'm having an out of body experience. What am I doing? Who is Tony really? Can I close the Lab now? Haha. Bitches Brew doesn't really need me to slobber on it. I'll keep it short and say it's a convergence of a...

Miles Davis took an all-inclusive, constantly restless approach to jazz that had begun to fall out of favor by the time of his death, even as it earned him controversy during his lifetime. It was hard to recognize the bebop acolyte of Charlie Parker in the flamboyantly dressed leader with the hair extensions who seemed to keep one foot on a wah-wah pedal and one hand on an electric keyboard in his later years. But he did much to popularize jazz, reversing the trend away from commercial appeal that...

From the beginning it is evident that the music herein is of an unmatched quality and power. The genius of Hancock, the melodic invention of Shorter, the solidity of Carter's foundation and the thundering torrent of Williams all gels into a cohesive symphony of sound under the guiding hand of the Prince of Darkness, himself. The listener is able to trace the development of each member's compositional prowess and its effect on Davis' musical approach throughout the group's tenure. Each successive...

One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power! The record itself is a key cap to Miles Davis' already-groundbreaking years of the 60s -- a bold step forward, not just for his nascent electric sound, but also for jazz in general -- and the benchmark by which so many other records would be judged (and fail) in years to come! The double-length set makes full use of all four sides of the record -- expanding the flow (as well as the lineup) of the original Davis...

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (2 CDs remastered)
Everybody wants to "change the face of music," but few have succeeded. Even fewer have changed the musical universe by simply doing what comes naturally. Miles Davis was a constant and natural innovator throughout his life, but perhaps none of his works have had the impact of Bitches Brew . This album could be credited with changing the very nature of improvisation, and certainly with changing the demographic of jazz audiences around the world. Recorded in August 1969, in the wake of Woodstock, this...

Joe Zawinul's "Pharaoh's Dance" and Davis' "Bitches Brew" treat their multiple themes in a ritualistic manner, as several strata of voices engage the lead melody in exciting exchanges. "Spanish Key" offers a thrilling sense of tension and release, as the trumpeter navigates a "Sex Machine"-styled vamp with a terse, brilliantly constructed solo, revelling in his new guitar-like phrasing. "John McLaughlin" is Davis' tribute to the innovative guitarist; "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down" is a spooky, visceral...
