Vinyl Spins - Bitches Brew
I was recently listening to some Miles Davis albums while enjoying one of my favorite dark beers Bitches Brew by Dogfish Head Brewery. In 1970 I saw him perform the music of this album at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago along with several rock bands. I was really surprised by the intensely loud wall of sound coming from his band and especially from the many keyboard and percussion players. It was a revelation and I had to go and find out more about this electric Miles which of course also eventually led me to Jack Johnson, In a Silent Way, On the Corner, etc. etc. and the more recent released "Complete" box sets of those albums.
