Album Info
Recorded at the end of a tumultuous decade (August 1969), Bitches Brew reflected the chaos and beauty of a society stretched and stressed to its breaking point. This genre-bending, barrier-smashing double LP of boldly new music with dense textures and lengthy performances broke every rule of commerciality yet would become Miles Davis' first RIAA gold album.
Originally released in April of 1970, Bitches Brew was informed by and reflective of the music that Miles heard being produced in the late '60s by Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, James Brown, Santana, Marvin Gaye and others, as well as the Beatles' post-production editing pyrotechnics. This 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition is a tribute to both the man who changed the course of jazz ("four or five times", as he himself once quipped), and the album that virtually single-handedly brought jazz into the commercial rock era, earning a place of #94 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album's gatefold cover introducing the late Mati Klarwein's iconic art served as a gateway to music that presented a seismic breakthrough in jazz/rock/funk/R&B.
