Years ago, I did a google search for, Albums that are influenced by Bitches Brew, The Miles Davis Jazz Rock Classic, Aside from the obvious choices, All the offshoots that were created by Those who Participated in the album, Hancock, Shorter, Zawinul, McLaughlin and the like, This album Belladonna From Ian Carr and all of his Nucleus Bands albums, I have just about everything in this style From Ian Carr, and it's Fantastic, The music is Heavily Influenced by Bitches Brew, Especially the Funkier Tracks, Like "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" and "Spanish Key" This album is probably overlooked, because it's not A nucleus album. But really it sound identical to me, When I hear this music, I am left feeling as if this is the way Miles would have sounded had he settled into a comfortable groove, and just expanded on Bitches Brew, Miles went on to Jack Johnson and then On the Corner, Totally different sound on the latter, If you like Milesy Voodoo Trumpet, Noodling Guitar and Fender electric piano, with a an atmospheric funky vibe this is for you, any of these albums From Ian Carr or Ian Carr's Nucleus are very enjoyable, The vinyl is mega expensive, The CD's aren't cheap either. but easily worth the price.
