Bitches Brew (album)

rdfs:comment

Bitches Brew is a studio double album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in April 1970 on Columbia Records. The album continued his experimentation with electric instruments previously featured on his critically acclaimed In a Silent Way album. With the use of these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis rejected traditional jazz rhythms in favor of a looser, rock-influenced improvisational style.

The well known critic Stanley Crouch claimed “with Bitches Brew, Davis was firmly on the path of the sellout…. Davis’s music became progressively trendy and dismal….” Amiri Baraka accused Davis of playing “white” music that did not contain elements of swing feel and maintained that he was “whitened” by “corporate powers.” Baraka and others remain skeptical of white-owned record companies exploiting African-American musicians in order to gain profit and recognition. In the film Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue, Carlos Santana sums it up well by saying that it is meaningless to ask jazz critics like Stanley Crouch for their opinions of Bitches Brew since Miles wasn't playing jazz anymore by that time, he did not like his music being referred to as jazz by that time, or for some time before that. Whilst some would say that this is Davis condemned from his own lips others would point out that Duke Ellington famously despised the label jazz.

Bitches Brew has a kind of searching quality because Miles was onto the process of discovering this new music and developing it.

n24:abstract

Bitches Brew is a studio double album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in April 1970 on Columbia Records. The album continued his experimentation with electric instruments previously featured on his critically acclaimed In a Silent Way album. With the use of these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis rejected traditional jazz rhythms in favor of a looser, rock-influenced improvisational style. Bitches Brew was Davis's first gold record, selling more than half a million copies. Upon release, it received a mixed response, due to the album's unconventional style and revolutionary sound. Later, Bitches Brew gained recognition as one of jazz's greatest albums and a progenitor of the jazz rock genre, as well as a major influence on rock and funk musicians. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album in 1971. In 1998, Columbia Records released The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, a four-disc box set that included the original album as well as the studio sessions through February 1970.
