Big Fun is one of my favourites.

Saw this thread, and it makes me want to listen to both albums right now.

Those are my two favourites of Davis' 70s albums. I adore both. I more often have chosen Get Up With It in polls at another sitei belong to over the past couple of years (I hadn't even heard them before the first half of 2009, I think), but I've been returning to Big Fun more over the last months, so that'll get my vote.

Go Ahead John is probably my favorite jazz track ever. Just thought I'd put that out there.

^ yea almost all Davis albums take multiple listens to appreciate (even though most of them sound awesome on the first listens)
All these Miles Davis threads may throw me into Miles mode. Ive been putting off his music for too long. Particularly his post-67 work. Ive only listened to his pre-fusion stuff if I wanted some Miles. I used to listen to his 70s work alllllll the time. Big Fun was one of the ones I listened to most. They're all great though |

Yep same here. Especially now I think that, since last night I listened to Disc 1 of Big Fun (and Disc 2 of Get Up With It). STILL!! More and more listens needed, these need like 30 or so listens to finally start getting the whole picture, lol. Hence why my favorite is In a Silent Way, I've listened to that more than 100 times.

Sometimes I think Big Fun is better than Bitches Brew. The atmosphere is more to my liking, with the Indian influences and such

"Standard Bitches Brew jam session" is a pretty high standard by any means

How about the Big Fun version of "Ife", with Billy Cobham changing the downbeat like 5 times during the song. Fast and funkaaay |

I prefer Get Up with It, but Big Fun has its moments as well. I should listen to that one more.

'Get up with it' is just incredible, so are the tracks 'Great Expectations' and 'Go ahead John' from 'Big Fun', some of the other tracks from 'Big Fun' are just your standard Bitches Brew jam session.
