	Bitches Brew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bitches Brew is an album recorded by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis in 1969.
		In fact, the innovative harmonic and melodic explorations heard on Bitches Brew, coupled with the absence of familiar and accepted bossa nova, swing or jazz-waltz rhythmic templates seems to be a source of much of the malevolence directed toward the album on the part of its critics.
		Bitches Brew also diverged from standard jazz practice by incorporating the Fender Rhodes electric piano and the electric bass, which were not yet recognized as legitimate jazz instruments at the time.

		After Bitches Brew, he shared the stage with many of the rock greats of the time, and played large halls like Fillmore West and East, and rock festivals like the Isle Of Wight Festival in the summer of 1970.
		Bitches Brew also pioneered the application of the studio as a musical instrument, featuring stacks of edits and studio effects that were an integral part of the music.
		Macero's dissatisfaction with The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions is three-pronged: first, he argues that the previously unreleased material was so for a reason, namely that it is inferior to the released material.

	Great American Music Hall
		Dense, funkified, and heavily percussive, Davis' music of this period foreshadowed acid jazz, drum and bass, fusion and much of what is called electronica, and as Bitches Brew's remarkable two guitar, three horn, keyboard, bass, drums and percussion lineup makes clear, it has never been more relevant and appealing than it is today.
		Led by guitarist Ezra Gale and trumpeter Jab, Bitches Brew has garnered widespread acclaim over the past year for high-energy live performances that mix their versions of Davis material from such albums as "On the Corner," "Live/Evil" and, of course, "Bitches Brew" with their own similarly-themed compositions.
		Bitches Brew has been gaining notice for their own updated and unique take on Davis' enormously influential music, with the East Bay-based Urbanview calling them "one of the Bay Area's most compelling bands," and the SF Weekly dubbing their shows "heartstopping."

	Milestones: A Miles Davis Collector's Site - Bitches Brew and the Art of Forgetting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Bitches Brew bears a marked resemblance to such Coltrane pieces as Kulu Se Mama, and in the improvising over pedal point and the use of two bassists, one serving as the anchor, the other playing far more freely, the classic India or later Coltrane's version of "Nature Boy".
		Like "Free Jazz", Bitches Brew rarely has a definite pitch; its rhythms are complex as many as three percussionists playing simultaneously-- and dense and while it is never "Free" rhythm, its density often amounts to the same thing; and perhaps most importantly, there is genuine group improvisation.
		But Bitches Brew, with its three electric pianos, two bassists and bass clarinet constantly interweaving with each other was a new, and I think wonderful, use of group improvisation.

	Ground and Sky review - Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
		Bitches Brew could be generally described as a darker, funkier, fiercer version of In a Silent Way; certainly, that's the case with the tracks on Disc One.
		Bitches Brew was an album shrouded in mystery for some time, although information has surfaced over the years that clarifies the picture somewhat and dispels a few of the myths.
		There's a version of "Bitches Brew" on Davis' Fillmore West album that is less than half as long but which I think is much better.

		Originally thought to be a series of long jams locked into grooves around one or two keyboard, bass, or guitar figures, Bitches Brew is anything but.
		The disc closes with "Sanctuary," a previously recorded Davis tune that is completely redone here as an electric moody ballad reworked for this band, but keeping enough of its modal integrity to be outside the rest of Bitches Brew 's retinue.
		Thus Bitches Brew retains its freshness and mystery long after its original issue.

		Listening today to "Bitches Brew," the complete sessions of which Columbia has just released in a four-CD box set, is still shocking.
		"Bitches Brew" may be the strangest landmark in jazz history.
		In this album -- on which "Bitches Brew" stalwarts Chick Corea and Dave Holland made their Miles debuts -- jazz seemed to have been boiled down into the most intimate, elusive and enigmatic of essential parts.

	Complete Bitches Brew Sessions \| The A.V. Club
		But 1970's Bitches Brew, inspired partly by rock musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone and partly by then-tumultuous racial politics, was the album that broke Davis from any sense of tradition, ironically proving to be his biggest-selling release.
		The pristine new mix certainly has something to do with it, but in the 30 years since Bitches Brew was first recorded, perceptions of this stage in Davis' career have changed from quizzically oblique to obviously revolutionary.
		The sessions that ultimately formed Bitches Brew were subsequently remixed, cut up, and reassembled by ingenious producer Teo Macero, in many ways birthing today's generation of studio rats.

	Nights And Weekends - Bitches Brew Review
		Bitches Brew is not the typical do-wop do-wop jazz.

		This new material, along with the early 1970 recordings of "Guinevere" and "Recollections", is as chilled and floating as Bitches Brew was hot and fiery.
		Bitches Brew sounds better, Lonely Fire sounds better, and much exciting, precise information - for example the editing process of Pharaoh's Dance - is made available.
		THE COMPLETE BITCHES BREW sessions is not what it claims, alas, but rather a coupling of the original BITCHES BREW album as released (though with infinitely better sound) and Miles' various studio exercises of the subsequent six months.

	MILES DAVIS
		If there’s one area in the history of jazz that drives a wedge between fans, it’s a critical analysis of Miles Davis’ so-called "electric period," which, arguably raised it’s head with the 1969-70 recordings of the massive "Bitches Brew" project, coupled with his later merger into funk and rock rhythms.
		Miles’ own "Bitches Brew Sessions" is the fourth in Sony’s massive and impressive boxed set releases, and comes, as have all of those releases, in an incredible array of discography, photographs, recollections and essays.
		As Carlos Santana points out in his interesting introductory liner notes, this was a period of incredible searching by Miles, as he and producer Teo Macero started a journey into the incorporation of rock rhythms and attitude into his previously straight ahead jazz compositions.

	The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions is a four-disc box set of music recordings by trumpeter Miles Davis.
		However, the title of the box set is somewhat of a misnomer: outside of the Bitches Brew tracks themselves, none of the other tracks appeared on Bitches Brew upon its original release, nor were they recorded during the same August 1969 sessions that resulted in Bitches Brew.
		The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions is number "6" in a series of Miles Davis box sets by Columbia Legacy/Sony Music (the numbering scheme refers to the chronological order of the original recordings, not the release order of the box sets themselves).

	Splendid Magazine reviews Bitches Brew: Bootleg Brew Vol. I
		Bootleg Brew is a follow-up to the group's studio-recorded debut, Gooey Dewey -- a critically acclaimed (well, I liked it), masterful mix of funky beats and glorious lead horn lines.
		Bootleg Brew, naturally, has more of a raw sound, but the band retains their perfect mix of giddy improvisation and infectious and dynamic melodies.
		This, they explain, is because they decided to cut a live album after a number of amazing performances that, by their very nature, could never be duplicated.

	JamBase \| BITCHES BREW \| 12.23 \| SAN FRANCISCO
		After the 1970 release of Bitches Brew, the first of several dense, groove-drenched textural experiments, Miles was widely panned by jazz purists who claimed he had sacrificed the structured, harmonic significance of his earlier post-bop work in favor of a diluted pop-jazz crossover.
		The players in Bitches Brew, mostly young guys freshly born around the time of Miles' original work, have brought the fusion form into a modern context, and in doing so proven that now its dark, intense urgency and funk-laden groove are more relevant than ever.
		It took more than twenty years for this mystifying music to return to the popular idiom, and fortunately the players in Bitches Brew not only sincerely love the form but also have the guts and the skill to handle it and make it something totally their own.

		What coalesced as these ten to twenty musicians fed frenzy-like off the brash impulses of one another was a music that literally lifted itself away from their conscious control and began making its own decisions.
		At times fearsome, others breathtaking, Bitches Brew is music as liberated organism, surging and soaring, gorgeous and terrifying, taking you dark and fantastical places to which only it holds the map.
		The haunting riddles of Bitches Brew rip at us and taunt us - however, the willingness to engage those riddles and ghosts, fully and with heart, produces thevisceral joy that can shatter the box Miles put us in.
