#NowSpinning #BitchesBrew by #MilesDavis courtesy of the #VinylMePlease #ElectricMiles boxset.

This is such a great set, impeccably done. I’ve got the #MoFi versions of about half of these, & the #VMP is better. That is particularly the case with BB - the VMP sounds edgier, more dynamic, as it should.

I’m still new to this period of Miles - but BB is monumental: unique, challenging, haunting, & lyrical.

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

Bitches Brew is...a lot. Two drummers. Three keyboards. Two bass players. Sax. Clarinet. Trumpet. Guitar. More. And all kind of playing whatever they want, given light direction.

Hours of tape, edited into these tracks, given some structure.

Never less than interesting. But never "less" at all. Always...more.

(VMP remaster from the Electric Miles box.)

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way

This is a real favorite of the "electric Miles" period. It's such an interesting use of the *studio* as a tool for giving structure to improvisation, selecting out the bits and pieces that work and then editing them together.

Despite the 'electric' tag, this is a really "open", meditative record, given a lovely remastering and pressing by VMP as part of the Electric Miles box set.

@Casura @jazz Bill Laswell's mash up of #ElectricMiles is one of most extraordinary responses to Miles's music...
