 Miles Davis: The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions (August 1969-February 1970) ---Ink Blot Magazine
With the release of the original double LP, Miles Davis drew a line in the sand that some jazz fans have never crossed, or even forgiven Davis for drawing.
The album was both a coalescence of ideas that had been brewing for several years and a sharp break with Davis's past.
The album won him a new audience of adventurous rock fans, but alienated long-time enthusiasts who had no time for the contemporary pop vocabulary and considered Davis a traitor to jazz for incorporating it.

 Big Fun - Miles Davis
His guitar, already distorted, begins to vibrate and resonate in the ear like a dentist's drill switched rapidly on and off.
What he's playing is not revolutionary, but the use (in 1969) of dub-like production techniques most definitely is. After this, even Miles himself (who takes the next solo) seems somehow deficient, not bringing as much innovation or aggression to the table as his producer and his guitarist.
All three of these albums are, along with the other recordings from the 1970s, some of the most probing, insistently creative music Miles Davis ever made, and it is gratifying that they are finally getting the treatment they deserve.
