Bitches Brew is one of my favorite albums. If you like it, check out Mile Davis, Live at the Fillmore East (March 7, 1970), with much material from BB, recorded a month before it's release. LOTS of energy. Excellent. Miles is one of my favorite artists, and I could recommend every release during his so-called 'electric period'. My personal favorites are the two mentioned above, plus Tribute to Jack Johnson, On the Corner and Agharta, though, again, all of the releases from this period are awesome. As is the rest of his catalogue. I really like Miles. ------------- Vive Gong! |

Absolutely brilliant!!! Actually, I know he's not listed as prog in this site, but I would have started this thread in the prog music section: we have a "Fusion" sub-genre in prog, and I'm pretty sure Miles invented it! |

Not a prog album, but Miles' electric bands at this period included key members of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever and Weather Report, so the direct influence on jazz fusion was massive, and the indirect influence on other contemporary acts was incalculable.Essential listening. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

It's my favourite Miles album ever!!! Way better than "Kind of Blue" or "Birth of the Cool" - which are both really good, BTW |

I love both these albums; 'Kind Of Blue' set the benchmark for other Bebop (or is it classified as Hard bop - I can never tell...) to follow, whereas 'Bitches Brew' opened a new door marked "Jazz Rock". The influence of Miles Davis in jazz cannot be over-stated -------------

Brilliant album. Paved the way for fusion, miles davis' influence is definitely powerful.

Spoilsport: the drumming seems slightly pedestrian, and even though I see the idea underlying it, I think it could've been done better. Other than that,

A friend of mine who love jazz recommended this album to me. I started
listening to the 2-CD version... This is amazing stuff! Quite similar to the 'Improvisations CD' from Van Der Graaf Generator's latest double album (I'm also crazy about that release and all of VDGG's discography). I'm still exploring early prog rock, but would it be safe to assume that Davis' 'Bitches Brew' was a major influence on early prog? |

| Bitches Brew is possibly the scariest sounding album of all time. I always imagine serial killers and people dying in the streets whenever I listen to that record. |
