Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Bitches Brew was a shot across the bow of jazz insularity, and, much like the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper before it, it drew upon elements both inside and outside the mainstream to fashion an avant-garde, yet extremely influential, take on popular music's relation to modernism, and vice versa. As such, Miles Davis became a lightning rod for jazz's transformation (or corruption as some diehards insist), and by mixing the fundamental elements of collective improvisation with fulminating dance rhythms, psychedelic electric textures, polytonal harmonies and a freely inflected brand of blues phrasing (as reflected in his own Kind of Blue-brand of modalism and the parallel directions of Hendrix, Cream, Sly Stone, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye), Davis signaled a sea-change in jazz. However, producer Teo Macero's spooky, compressed mix tends to suck all the air out of the room, emphasizing the often static nature of Harvey Brooks's bedrock Fender bass heartbeats, while obscuring the complex polytonal/polyrhythmic web of volatile harmonies, colliding cross-rhythms and contrasting melodic lines. Bitches Brew is a modern jazz masterpiece screaming for a critical reassessment (and a re-mix), but nothing can obscure the crafty tension and release of Davis's turn over a "Sex Machine"-styled ostinato on "Spanish Key," nor the spatial collective "&mysterioso" and epic breadth of the title tune. --Chip Stern

I WISH THIS ALBUM WAS AVAILABLE 'NEW' FROM AMAZON!
UNFORTUNATELY I BOUGHT THIS FROM A STREET VENDOR IN SOHO & THE RECORD WAS SCRATCHED ON THE LAST 2 TUNES! I PURCHASED ANOTHER 'USED' COPY HERE WHICH IS IN BETTER SHAPE - I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT HERE FIRST!
Anyway, I really love it, and I am very happy with it. I especially love track 3, I play it every morning before work!

Now, before I get flamed to death, I want to say this: I consider myself a pretty big Miles Davis fan. I have heard somewhere around 45 of his recordings, including every studio album released in his life time but Star People, and five live discs. And this includes obscurities like Amandala (Which is, admittedly, pretty bad) and Dig (which is actually quite good). I even consider the oft-slagged Big Fun one of Miles' best albums. And it's not that I don't enjoy his electric work - quite to the contrary, ... Read More

For Jazz alone, Thelonious Monk is simply better. For Jazz Fusion, Krautrock masters like Annexus Quam or (especially) Wolfgang Dauner are better. I think this is another case of the origionator being outpaced by his followers. This is a good album for rebellious librarians, not a good fusion album.

I recall one review that described Bitches Brew as 'the shot heard around the world'. The album itself is a frenzied jazz soup, winding electric guitars playing off of each other, trilling keyboards, slinky basslines, and powerful driving percussion rhythms. But if there's one constant, it's the reverberating echoes of Miles Davis' horn. Yes the sound may be cluttered compared to earlier cool jazz, but the genius of 'Bitches Brew' is the spirit of improvisation, allowing the band to communicate with each ... Read More

Everybody knows of Miles Davis playing the cool jazz, including So What, All Blues, and the rest. But what not everybody knows is his musical attitude towards jazz. Miles said that he didn't want to play his cool jazz anymore, that it was already recorded in history. Miles wanted to move on. This CD is an amazing example of his onward movement. With recurring ostanotos (sp?), a pinch of electric instrumentation, and beautiful improvisation, Miles creates groundbreaking and lasting music. This album will ... Read More
