Thanks to mylittlesister for indirectly turnin me on to this titanic groovin death jazz juggernaut. I got the two disc version with one extra track (feio). I could just jam along with that shit all day, all headphones and electric piano and scratchin my nuts, all takin a break to make tea and wishin the weekend would last forever. |

|
|
yes it is! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Huh! That's obscure enough to merit a download. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Well that tune's neither here nor there... You're just showing off your considerable knowledge of pop music history, you old codger. |

the titular track burns me to the ground every time i hear it. |

I should get that record! I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately. That Thelonious Monk dude for instance has made some pretty fantastic stuff. I have this collection of recordings from the mid 40's and it rocks serious idm-ass!!! Recommended!!! |

hey check it: |

Yeah I want that one too. It sounds, from the descriptions, completely nutso and ahead of its time. There is only one Miles Davis. After he sold his soul to the devil, the devil had no more use for souls. Musicians would come to him beggin for talent and the devil would say, naw man, not till I come down, oooo the colors. |

did you like the review? my bro wrote that. "In a silent way" got me into jazz. It's really special, well worth getting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool fleetmouse, glad i helped in more than one way :D we've just finished studying "Move" by Miles Davis - off of 'the birth of cool'. And I've just started to read a biography on him too. you should really get "kind of blue" and "in a silent way". amazing albums :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You studied 'Move'? what was your conclusion? "oh yeah brilliant tune, you know." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dude, do you have a lead sheet or the changes or something for Move? I'm thinking of getting the John Szwed biography, is that the one you're reading? I have bitches, bertha the cool, kind of blue, silent way, miles smiles, sketches of spain and aura. Diablo you tell your bro he is a BAD MOTHER FUCKER. :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh something like that :-) we just had to look at the solos and how it uses the "rhythm changes" (the chord changes from Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm"). We've got to compose a piece using the chord sequence and similar melodic ideas next. |

Last time I was at HMV I noticed they had a new remaster of Bertha the Cool. Every ten minutes they re-re-remaster another Miles disk and release it with new packaging, eek! And then the box sets featuring alternate takes where someone farted and they had to open a window and they captured the window creaking with a Telefunken 666 dual hyperbolic stairmaster. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm all up for remastered stuff, means i can play it LOUDER :) without it all fuzzing up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Miles Davis is the fucking man. Love his stuff. If I could play the Trumpet like him then I'd be very happy. As it happens I don't so I'm not really happy. Anyone ever checked out Conrad Gozzo? Shit that dude could scream his trumpet. Played for Sinatra back in the old days. Died of alcoholism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the changes to i got rhythm go: A section: Bb Gm7 Cm7 F7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm7 F7 Bb Gm7 Cm7 Ebm/F Bb F7 Bb - B section: D7 Am F/D D7 G Daug5 Dm G7 C7 Gm7 Ebm/C C9 Gb7-5 F7 the form for each part goes AABA, and that form is repeated 5 times, plus an intro and coda. the biography that I'm reading is by Ian Carr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those changes have been transposed into Move's keysignature of Bb... just thought I'd say that in case any Gershwin fans started threatening my life for getting the key wrong! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks! And in a nice civilized key too. :: glares at savage Gershwin fans :: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bb, that key was MADE for brass instruments! silly pianist gershwin! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listened to Move as I read through your chords... My brain just went, like *skroink* Didn't realize there was roughly one chord change per second. @_@ Well maybe I can learn to play the lounge version... :: balances tip jar on keyboard :: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i finally bought this today. it's brilliant...i still prefer the blue album, but i may start liking this even more...great stuff! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one :) have u heard "In a Silent Way"? another very good Davis album, from roughly the same period as Bitches Brew. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno...i probably have some tunes on various compilations, but i don't know the album...simmilar stuff to bitches brew? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pharaoh's dance is sweet...esp. the repetitive arpeggio that the electric piano plays near the end, over and over, and then miles comes in with the theme, real laid back in his delivery, but you realize that the electric piano has been playing that theme all along, just much faster. it sounds like insanity must feel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... less trumpet tho, i always think. the actually track "in a silent way" is amazing. got a really nice guitar middle section/piece, as its made up of two pieces, following on from eachother. the first piece is then repeated again at the end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks...i'll check! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it's a grreat rrecorrd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out miles live at the filmore (east?)... live versions of Bitches brew songs among other sounds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't it awesome? I haven't listened to it for a while - time to dig it out again. It's so restless and organic, shifting around and twisting, but it never becomes unpleasant or unbearably fucked up the way some freejazz can, like a wasp buzzing in your face. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love "bitches brew". i love the version of "a tribute to jack johnson" with 4 tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah tolstoyed, you HAVE to get In A Silent Way, it's utterrly fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you! i'll get that for sure! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bertha the Cool? wtf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can I ask a totally serious question? Why do you people like this? Like really? I listened to it (just once I might add) and it just sounded like a bunch of completely random shit... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha...aren't you a big fan of autechre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but Autechre aren't really random... there's a method to the madness with Autechre... Bitches Brew sounds like a mess to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're weird.very. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeah... |
