Miles, and others - Jazz Fusion

   Actually a very profound statement, and does sum Bitches Brew Up, There lies the problem Critics had with the music. They could not see beyond the box they wanted to put in , Jazz ?,  rock?, We must also realize as well that Teo Macero has his hands all over Bitches Brew, With the edits, cuts and loops, In many ways he deserves some credit for the finished product. To me, the is it jazz? or is it rock question is the biggest compliment of all, Miles Created a New form of music, An Album that sort of stands alone, Really nothing like it before or after. Give it one more "good" listen with headphones. Maybe it will click for you.

Yeah, I'm with ya there, very important contribution

Brew takes awhile to get into....its not the easiest listen of Miles stuff........try Nefertiti, to me its more straight up Miles with Herbie Hancock on piano and Wayne Shorter on sax. I enjoy side 2 more than 1, Nefertiti the track is a bit experimental and I think would have fit nicely on Bitches Brew.

Any fans of-Vocal Conspiracy very nice fusion group,also-Pharoh Sanders-Elevation is cool also.
