Description
‘Bitches Brew’ is a double album by Miles Davis, released in April 1970 on Columbia. 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 favour of a looser, rock-influenced improvisational style.
Bitches Brew was Davis’s first gold record; it sold more than half a million copies. Upon release, it received a mixed response, due to the album’s unconventional style and experimental 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.
