Double vinyl LP pressing. Bi**hes Brew is a studio album by jazz musician, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis, originally released on March 30, 1970. It marked his continuing experimentation with electric instruments that he had previously featured on the critically acclaimed In a Silent Way (1969). With these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis rejected traditional jazz rhythms in favor of loose, rock-influenced arrangements based on improvisation. In subsequent years, Bi**hes 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. Album Tracks 1. Pharaoh's Dance (Album Version) 1. Bi**hes Brew (Album Version) 1. Spanish Key 2. John McLaughlin (Album Version) 1. Miles Runs the Voodoo Down 2. Sanctuary (Album Version)
Limited vinyl LP pressing. This aptly named 1957 album by jazz icon Miles Davis includes three sessions originally recorded between 1949 and 1950. What would go on to become known as cool jazz, these recordings were complex in arrangement, with just the right touch of restraint from Davis and the rest of his ensemble. Featuring unusual instrumentation and several notable musicians, the music consisted of innovative arrangements influenced by classical music techniques such as polyphony, and marked a major development in post-bebop jazz. As the title implies, these recordings are considered seminal in the history of cool jazz. Most of them were originally released in the 10-inch 78-rpm and are all approximately three minutes long. Forever hip and innovative, this vinyl reissue is a timeless classic for any jazz collection. Album Tracks 1. Move 2. Jeru 3. Moon Dreams 4. Venus de Milo 5. Budo 6. Deception 1. Godchild 2. Boplicity 3. Rocker 4. Israel 5. Rouge 6. Darn That Dream
