On this day in 1969, Miles Davis started recording "Bitches Brew" This wasn't just an album; it was a revolution. Jazz went electric, and the world hasn't been the same since... A thread🧵
Miles brought together a stellar ensemble: Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, and more. The sessions were loose, experimental, and raw—Miles gave minimal direction, letting the musicians’ creativity run wild.
The result? A double album that defied convention. Tracks like "Pharaoh’s Dance" and "Bitches Brew" were sprawling, hypnotic, and unlike anything jazz fans had heard before. It was bold, chaotic, and utterly mesmerizing
Bitches Brew didn’t just push jazz forward; it birthed jazz fusion. Its electric grooves and improvisational spirit influenced everyone from Herbie Hancock to Radiohead. It’s a cornerstone of modern music.
@SVG__Collection "Spanish key" is my favorite cut. John McLaughlin is brilliant on that track
