Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" Mobile Fidelity Labs SACD disc 2

 

It's time to listen to this pillar in my jazz listening world to see how the system is doing with new elements. Have to say. . .sounds fantastic.

I can only say that this album was a key element of the jazz movements when I became interested in that music. It´s interesting that it´s still not all electric, it´s like an extension of "Filles de Kilimanjaro" . The long tracks each of them a treasure. But I think on the reissue CD I have (I had spun the LP to death) there is a bonus track composed by Wayne Shorter , something like "Feia" or "Feio" and with all due respect for Wayne, that one tune doesn´t say anything to me and bored me from the first bar on. I also can´t do very much with the "John McLaughlin" titled tune where Miles doesn´t play. Those two tunes I cut out, but the title tune, Spanish Key, Miles Runs the Voodoo down, and even Sanctuary thrills me. 
But it was still 2 years until I heard Miles live and than it was the all electric band with Miles on wah wah all thru. But still great. I lost my interest in Miles after 1983, his first two years 81,82 was very good and "jazzy" , but then it turned out to almost "smooth jazz"......

I first heard "Bitches Brew" in '72 after hearing "Filles" and "In A Silent Way," I fell in love with it entirely and I've played it ever since in various incarnations--LP, tape, CD, SACD. I love this music. . . .

I've always wanted to hear Lowther's Child Song, but it's not readily available -- even for streaming on YT.

I'll check out this JiB release instead.

Working on getting a great mono "image" on my system and this SACD is helpful. And I wanted to hear this blast from the past.
