“Bitches Brew” by Miles Davis - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1970 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die  |
A sensory challenge over the course of 4 sides and 95 minutes, with an expanded rhythm section being a key feature. Miles utilises two bassists (one guitar, one double bass), two to three drummers, two to three electric piano players, and a percussionist, all playing at the same time. This is used to best effect on the 27 minute title-track which takes up the entirety of side two and, surprisingly for me, doesn't outstay its welcome.
