Yes, I just bought and listenned to Bitches Brew recently. I really dig "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down." The art is very hip, too. This entire album makes me want to use every instrument I have to make my songs. Perhpas, I should, trumpetman, perhaps I should..... |

I borrowed 2 CD's of Miles David from a colleague. I don't know if I'll play them often tho. It have noticed that it exude a certain atmosphere, old smoky jazzclubs that is. :) |

In a silent way Nefertiti A kind of blue Porgy and bess Sketches of Spain I have, and they RULE, but I can listen to Miles only on rare occasions. You know, jazz.... |

I know how you guys feel.... it's music that you can't really listen to directly, it's kind of like trying to look at an eclipse. you have to somehow listen to it "indirectly," like during an activity or something.... at least i do... |

yep, it's kind of "stuffy" and closed, but there's some fine drum work on Miles records, live breaks, and true energy. |

I love that era of jazz, man, the jazz-rock fusion that also was cross-pollinated with progressive rock. As we are all probably aware, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet, Weather Report, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return to Forever were all born out of those sessions, innit. I guess musicians still use LSD-25 but the late 60s is a very heady and important time, to me. |

i have the complete bitches brew sessions, which is something like 4 discs of extended takes and cut songs and such. its truly mammoth and great to just leave on and walk around the house to all day. in respsonse to oddio about using all your instruments: DO IT!!! ive only recently started blending my 'real' music with electronic and its produced the best stuff ive ever done, and its alot more fun/easy than sitting in front of a computer programming in drum fills too. |

I wonder if anyone has actually remixed any of it. It'd be near blasphemy. |

Well, technically, the Complete Bitches Brew has no relation to the album itself. All the stuff on the 4CD box is stuff that was recorded *AFTER* the Bitches Brew session. There's no relation, well except at the end of the boxset where they put the album integrally. But it's not outtakes or alternate versions or different stuff cut out of the disk unlike the other "Complete" Boxsets who are true to their words (In a Silent Way, Jack Johnson) Anyway... it's all about DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS DARK MAGUS ;) |

Miles Davis? Highly overrated! Don't get me wrong - I love jazz, it's what I listen to most of the time anyway - but not Miles. If you think Miles invented and reinvented jazz and is one of the genres best performers then it's no wonder you might be put off by the whole thing. Miles Davis' greatest achievement in music is actually discovering and promoting new talents that probably would have to struggle a whole lot more to get attention if it hadn't been for the connection to the famous star Miles Davis. As far as trumpeters go I much prefer Woody Shaw, Ted Curson, Booker Little, Kenny Dorham and the best one of them all through all times: Freddie Hubbard! When it comes to great jazz composers and performers in general you should check out Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Andrew Hill, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk to name but a few. The cool drum works on Miles' records probably belongs to Philly Joe Jones or Anthony Williams. The cooolest jazz drummer though must be Elvin Jones. My fave Miles album is "On the corner" but I think the producer Teo Macero deserves more of the credit for that one than Miles. |

I think he's a good composer and adequate player. But most of all he is a good entry point for people who want to get into jazz. I think Eric Dolphy, Andrew Hill & Monk are pretty essential, but there are loads of great jazz artists around now like Bill Dixon, Marc Ducret & Mat Maneri who have been trying to take things in other directions, It's time to move on. |
