| | Description: | Davis conceived Bitches Brew by having the musicians stand in a semi-circle, where he pointed at them with vague directions for tempo, solos, and cues. The collective improvisation and interplay spawned a galaxy of melodies and grooves that were later spliced together by producer Ted Macero. Here, these distinct creations take shape with utmost realism. Our double SACD envelops you in expansive warm tonal blankets. Compositions stretch across jet-black backgrounds and paint abstract canvasses on par with those of Axis: Bold As Love and Abraxas. Juxtaposed percussion, loose jams, and melodic segues explode with impressionistic verve.
Gathering a Hall of Fame-worthy lineup of musicians and tweaking it according to his desires, Davis follows through on his idea to "put together the greatest rock and roll band you ever heard" on Bitches Brew. Central to his proposition is the presence of two (and sometimes three) drummers and two bassists, a tactical move that thrusts rhythms into a central focus. Akin to the futuristic album cover art, the drum-driven suites head toward distant universes and uncharted territories â?? at once hypnotizing and grooving, charting maverick adventures with quixotic rock, funk, and R&B elements.
Conceptually, Davis described Bitches Brew as "a novel without words" and "an incredible journey of pain, joy, sorrow, hate, passion, and love." The vast psychedelic expanses of warped echoes, liquid reverb, and tape loops confirm such ambitious contrasts of light and dark, fear and hope. Yet the most absolute characteristic of this watershed effort lies in how it resists definitive interpretation and encourages free thought â?? the very principles with which Davis conceived the everlasting beauty and fascination that is Bitches Brew. - After the success of the 4-CD deluxe box set the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, Legacy has expanded and improved upon the original 2-LP set in several ways. This release features the same 20-bit digitally remixed and remastered sources from the box set, and also boasts one rare bonus track, "Feio" by Wayne Shorter. Both original and new liners are included in the package, as well as a booklet filled with rare and/or unpublished photos.

The booklet contains a 'facsimile of original LP inner gatefold'. The original LP shown contains a number of credits that conflict with the credits given for the current release: The original LP credits Larry Young on electric piano to 2-2 and 2-3, Bennie Maupin on bass clarinet and Lenny White on drums to 2-4, and Harvey Brooks on bass to 2-2 and 2-4; it does not credit Joe Zawinul on electric piano to 2-2 and 2-3. It also credits Roy Moore as an engineer instead of Frank Laico.

| | | Ivica S. - 17/Nov/2019 A genius at his best. We all know that Miles is one of the greatest Jazz musicians of our time, however, this double album puts him above all other Jazz great. For every collection - Highly recommend
| | | ULADZIMIR S. - 21/Jul/2019 The sounds of the trumpet of Miles Davis are still fascinating and will infinitely enchant true lovers of jazz. The recording of this disc dates back to 1969-70, but there is not the slightest trace of archaic and obsolete information in it. Oddly enough, the tool Miles sounds every year everything is fresh.
Miles abandoned the traditional jazz rhythms in favor of a freer improvisational style with a lot of rock influence. Listen to everyone!
