Bitches Brew — Miles Davis

Bitches Brew is Miles Davis's 1970 double album that fused jazz with rock and electronic textures, polarizing purists while launching the jazz fusion movement. It sold over 500,000 copies in its first year—four times the sales of a typical jazz record—and features 6 epic tracks, including the 27-minute title piece. This album is faster than the average jazz album of the 1970s in both tempo and attitude, and it directly inspired #8, Maiden Voyage's later electric experiments, though Hancock's album remains more lyrically melodic.
