Bitch's Brew was released during my senior year in high school, 1969. As an 18 year old it blew me away even without the context of "in a Silent Way" or what came thereafter. Mile's was an incomprehensible genius and there is no greater testament to that fact than this album. "Pharoh's Dance", "Spanish Key" and "Miles Runs the VooDoo Down" are my favorites if it's possible to elevate one piece over another from this work.Rclark, you and I represent bookends in the admiration of this album. It warms my heart to hear of somebody new to enter its circle of appreciation.
Bitches' Brew, Tribute to Jack Johnson, and Live Evil were Miles' attempt at fusion. In my opinion they were the worst albums he ever made.Although they did serve one purpose, those albums did get people to listen to Jazz.Doc

Lotta cool posts here Didn't realize there was some dislike too, I got to hear it without any preconception, all I knew was jazz album, Davis. But reading some of those posts I can see how the introduction of something non-traditional would be frowned upon,Yeah, I've listened to it the last three nights, very impressive album given the context of my other jazz records. Groundbreaking, I think.Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm on those, stat. Looking forward to more unexpected jazz discoveries, really loving it, this genre hasn't let me down yet.
I love rock and roll. I love Jazz. You mix them together and they suck. My opinion, of course. My god people, think back. This was a money making scheme to increase the audience. It worked for Davis for a while but who's playing fusion these days.? All that stuff sounds dated now, but yet Kind of Blue still sells.Doc
I just grew up, and here's hoping RClark does too.
