There's a great (though somewhat crazy and more than a little aggressive) interview from 1969 with him here:

lol true

I am a avid fan of jazz, anything from parker bebop to mid 70's.

Miles Davis is arguably the most prolific jazz artist. He also led arguably the best jazz band of all time (jones, coltrane, garland, chambers and miles).

Now, for Bitches Brew, I do not think that its his best fusion work. Bitches brew was made right after in a silent way. It is hard to listen from beginning to end. I especially like pharaoh dance, sanctuary, miles run the voodoo down and spanish key. I however think its a masterpiece, but I rarely put i on. I much prefer On the Corner, Big Fun, ATTJJ and IASW.

For a lot of fan, the best fusion work would be A Tribute to Jack Johnson. Yesternow is just fantastic. You should also check go ahead john, a song that was made in the same session, that you can find on the record Big Fun. :''"Go Ahead John" used to be my favorite, it's screams 'Jack Johnson' style with a small ensemble, heavily edited in post-production, and John McLaughlin, DeJohnette and Henderson absolutely killing it. I love how Teo panned the drums between the speakers to give it that special effect, very revolutionary back then i guess but it sounded incredible to me. a little like early breakbeat tracks or even drum n bass, Miles was so ahead of his time.' You should also hear from Big Fun, Lonely Fire. its ambiant and trippy.

Lastly you should check the on the corner complete disc set. those are the highlights of that 6 cd set:

Calypso Frelimo

Hip-Skip

Maiysha

Minnie

Turnaround

Chieftain

he loved him madly

whitey can't understand Miles. Whitey try and cop my mans culture. Steal his ideas. Get out whitey!

My original introductions to Miles were Kind of Blue (of course), Love Songs, Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain, etc... I listened to the old stuff and was content for years without ever really delving into his 70s or 80s material. Man, was I surprised as shit when I bought my first copy of Bitches Brew and put it on. I absolutely loved it from the first listen! I grabbed the 4 disc set as soon as I found one for a decent price, then picked up In a Silent Way, Big Fun, and On the Corner all in a matter of weeks. I really liked them all for different reasons and find a strange satisfaction in being able to appreciate all of the different sounds he created. I even love his 80s fusion and smooth jazz sounding stuff like Amandla, Decoy, and Tutu. Dare I say Tutu may be my favorite album of his period.

Bitches Brew might hit you the first time, but it could also take a few listens to really get into the groove. Either way, enjoy!

what i was thinking as well

Did the album kill beerwolf? I've not even heard it myself and I'm anxious for his opinions.

OPINE

Got 12 minutes into the first track then I started to struggle.....

The writing was on the wall after that

Apologies Mister Davies

Davis not Davies!!

I am Dork

I think it's pretty common knowledge that Davis was a huge arrogant wifebeating cunt of a person.

But also I love a lot of his music.

I'm going to listen to some awesome Eric Dolphy shit right now just to piss Zombie Miles off.

Electric-era Miles is the vagina that squirted out Squarepusher's bony ass.

Y'all betta recanize.

but that's just the attitude of so many jazz musicians, because of miles' importance and miles' attitude, it was cool to just randomly slagg off fantastic musicians. Nicolas Payton just got in a whole lick of trouble for claiming jazz is dead and that he "doesn't play jazz" blah blah no one cares asswipe.

in all fairness IDM has retarded slagging off too. At least autechre are chill about saying someone's music sucks.

also ftr I adore jazz.

"it's complicated" with me and jazz

I think a Miles biopic would make a KILLER miniseries on HBO or something. Just let me make that motherfucker.

I wonder who could play Miles?

Ben affleck.

You know it's going to end up being Don Cheadle, no matter what.

Don Cheadle can act, but he doesn't really look enough like Miles. It would have to be an unknown actor so you wouldn't have any nagging associations. It's a hard enough role to play. Also, bear in mind you'd have to convincingly cast people to play basically all the jazz heavyweights and be able to show all of them playing the music in a live setting, getting their movements, mannerisms and instrumentation to look just right. Bird, the Charlie Parker movie starring Forest Whitaker shows just how difficult it is to do that. There's just no half-assing a Miles biopic.

I was thinking Don Cheadle when i was going about my day. He looks a lot like Miles and a bit of makeup and the right outfit would even strengthen the Mile's look.
