seriously... a seminal bold change of DNA for miles. he saw the top of the electric wave and added his weight and brilliance to it, changing jazz yet again.
great book: beyond miles", great in-depth exploration of his entire electric period. |

Wasn't there a scene in Jerry Mcguire with Miles Davis as make-out music. Very funny.
Bitches Brew is amazing, no doubt. |

Bitches Brew is perhaps the single best example of early jazz/rock fusion, and sounds as good today as it did when it was released. Along with Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way, my favorite three Miles recordings.
