 Bitches Brew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bitches Brew was an unusual, groundbreaking and controversial contribution to jazz; the album is considered a seminal jazz fusion record.
Bitches Brew is an album by trumpeter Miles Davis, released in 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.

 Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Bitches' Brew is a further extension of the basic idea he investigated in his two previous albums, Filles De Kilimanjaro and In A Silent Way.
The CD reissue adds "Feio," a track recorded early in 1970 with the same band.
Thought by many to be the most revolutionary album in jazz history, having virtually created the genre known as jazz-rock fusion (for better or worse) and being the jazz album to most influence rock and funk musicians, Bitches Brew is, by its very nature, mercurial.

 Milestones: A Miles Davis Collector's Site - Bitches Brew and the Art of Forgetting
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.
Although even at the height of the bop era there was always an element of group improvisation in jazz, basically jazz had become dominated by the soloist with little regard for the polyphony of group improvisation of the New Orleans era.
The climax of "Pharoah's Dance", while Miles states and re-states the primary theme, the rest of the band reaches a cacophonous frenzy that is obviously an echo of Free Jazz or Ascension at their most mind-bindingly intense.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Bitches Brew: Bootleg Brew Vol. I
Bootleg Brew, naturally, has more of a raw sound, but the band retains their perfect mix of giddy improvisation and infectious and dynamic melodies.
Although "Prelude (Part II)" retains the eccentric percussion of the two tracks before it, the song is appropriately lower-key -- for the listener can't help but be a little worn out by fifty-odd minutes of frenetic jazz that lead up to this indulgently-titled track.
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.

 Salon Entertainment A master at dangerous play
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.
But for the greatest creator of improvisational music in the 20th century, changing history was par for the course.
At once lyrical and off-kilter, it had the weight of a classical composition -- and was as airy and insubstantial as a soap bubble.

 Miles Davis: The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions (August 1969-February 1970) ---Ink Blot Magazine
On Bitches Brew he foregrounded all those elements by assembling the album from several days of rhythmic studio improvisations by a large, electrified band.
Instead of the concern with sophisticated harmonic and structural experimentation that had preoccupied his classic mid-60s quintet, he focused on simpler melodies suspended over dense electric textures and churning grooves.
He had already experimented with electric keyboards, rock guitars and beats, and the use of studio post-production as a compositional tool.

 Miles Davis The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions
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.
Suffice it to say that much of the previously unreleased material travels along similar time wrinkles, some of it leaving unanswered questions for the listener to forever puzzle over.
Sure enough, this sprawling team of talent would create with Miles the most impenetrable, incendiary, and finally revelatory musical experiment of his lifetime.

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.

With heavyweight hornman Jab on trumpet (electrified and spacey with wah-wah and reverb effects), the band tore through a dizzying array of vintage Miles compositions, spanning several of his most ambitious, funktified fusion albums.
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.
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.

In February 1969, Davis recorded In a Silent Way, a bold step into ambient funk and electric futurism that inspired the trumpeter to go further out at the sessions for Bitches Brew that August.
