Music reviews of Bitches Brew
Music Review: Godawful crap
Rating: 1 Stars
Kudos to the other reviewers who were brave enough to tell the truth -- that anyone who thinks this album is any good is a pretentious idiot who wants to look like he's cool and "gets it". There is no "it" to "get" here. Unrelated lines on top of each other that happen, occasionally, to be in the same rhythm do not constitute music. I can't imagine anyone sitting in a room grooving along to this noise and saying "Oh, yeah, this is so good!" If this album constitutes the zenith of anything, it would be the zenith of the above-it-all jazz reviewer who wants to show how brilliant he is by recommending crap like this, and defending that recommendation with mountains of words that bear little relation to the actual experience of listening to this gobbledygook.
Description of Bitches Brew
The revolution was recorded: in 1969 Bitches Brew sent a shiver through a country already quaking. It was a recording whose very sound, production methods, album-cover art, and two-LP length all signaled that jazz could never be the same. Over three days anger, confusion, and exhilaration had reigned in the studio, and the sonic themes, scraps, grooves, and sheer will and emotion that resulted were percolated and edited into an astonishingly organic work. This Miles Davis wasn't merely presenting a simple hybrid like jazz-rock, but a new way of thinking about improvisation and the studio. And with this two-CD reissue (actually, this set is a reissue of the original set plus one track, perfect for the fan who's not so overwhelmed as to need the four-CD Complete Bitches Brew box), the murk of the original recording is lifted. The instruments newly defined and brightened, the dark energy of the original comes through as if it were all fresh. Joe Zawinul and Bennie Maupin's roles in the mix have been especially clarified. With a bonus track of "Feio"--a Wayne Shorter composition recorded five months later that serves both as a warm-down for Bitches Brew and a promise of Weather Report to come--this is crucial listening. --John F.
