My number one!

Much of the same personnel to appear on Davis' groundbreaking Silent Way return to play out an epic set of distorted harmonics, extended jams and funky grooves. Reported tensions between Davis and producer Teo Macero heightened the album's staggering effect. It is impossible to overstate the profound influence of this album.

This is an album that helped get me into the jazz-funk and fusion style of jazz. It's a landmark album that set a standard for things to come. Pharaoh's Dance is a 20 minute track that starts off very mellow with organ notes, timid drums and light saxophone play. Pretty soon Miles and his trumpet enters and the pace picks up. The track never gets to heavy and it pretty chill overall. It's one of m... read more

The album continued his experimentation with electric instruments previously featured on his critically acclaimed In a Silent Way album.

" With a name like Bitches Brew you have to expect something else to really get to you. This album cover is a beauty to a great experimental masterpiece. "

Oddities In Music - The Good And The Bad (18 music items)

"Miles Davis is the ultimate man of change. Call him a sell out go ahead, call him whatever you want. Jazz purists still give this man hell 20 years after he died for albums like this. Before Bitches Brew, Davis released "In A Silent Way" in 1968 which was his first experiment with rock music. It proved the music leader could reach out to other genres. Even before that you had "Filles De Killimanjaro" which really set up the transition for him, as that record was loaded with funk bass and drums."

“This is an album that helped get me into the jazz-funk and fusion style of jazz. It's a landmark album that set a standard for things to come. Pharaoh's Dance is a 20 minute track that starts off very mellow with organ notes, timid drums and light saxophone play. Pretty soon Miles and his trumpet enters and the pace picks up. The track never gets to heavy and it pretty chill overall. It's one of my favorite on this album and I'm a big Egyptian fan so it's even easier to like it more. Getting to the title track, Bitches Brew, this one is a lot different. Miles uses echo in his horn from the start with simple blasts here and there and being that this track is a massive 27 minute long you expect it to build up, and it does! After a couple minutes a light bassline comes in and track progresses” read more

RS 500: Part 1 (100 music items)

""In February 1969, Davis recorded In a Silent Way, a bold step into ambient funk and electric futurism that inspired the trumpeter to go further out at the sessions for Bitches Brew that August. Davis wanted, he said, "the best damn rock & roll band in the world," to connect jazz with the forward motion of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. Davis' band was superbad (Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, etc.). But the word fusion was never big enough to describe the visceral thrill "
