This genre-bending, barrier-smashing double LP would become Miles' first RIAA gold album. It was also the record that virtually single-handedly brought jazz into the commercial rock era, earning a place at No. 94 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eReleased in April of 1970, Bitches Brew was informed by and reflective of the music that Miles heard being produced in the late-'60s by Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, James Brown, Santana, Marvin Gaye and others, as well as the Beatles' post-production editing pyrotechnics. The original double-LP's six tracks, as formulated in the studio by Miles and his long-time producer Teo Macero, presented a seismic breakthrough in jazz\/rock\/funk\/R\u0026amp;B. The tracks comprised the 20-minute side-long \"Pharaoh's Dance\" (a Joe Zawinul composition), followed by four Miles compositions, the 27-minute side-long \"Bitches Brew,\" then \"Spanish Key,\" \"John McLaughlin,\" and \"Miles Runs the VooDoo Down,\" concluding with the Wayne Shorter composition, \"Sanctuary.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBitches Brew also introduced the memorable cover art of the late Mati Klarwein.

In this last piece and in \"Solea,\" Miles drew on the glow of flamenco singing while moving away from all traces of folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll tracks were recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studio, NYC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swoon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213997502500,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/4986\/7812\/files\/Sketches_of_Spain_Miles_Davis_Vinyl.jpg?v=1784637299"},{"product_id":"oren-ambarchi-johan-ghosted","title":"Oren Ambarchi \/ Johan Berthling \/ Andreas Werliin – Ghosted","description":"\u003cp\u003eNEW \/ SEALED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eAmbarchi, Berthling and Werliin share a fascination with rhythm and the myriad of ways it can subdivide within the beat.
