Miles Davis – Bitches Brew

Bitches Brew is a studio double album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released on March 30, 1970 on Columbia Records.

Reception.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz called Bitches Brew “one of the most remarkable creative statements of the last half-century, in any artistic form. It is also profoundly flawed, a gigantic torso of burstingly noisy music that absolutely refuses to resolve itself under any recognized guise.”

Reviewing for Rolling Stone in 1970, Langdon Winner said Bitches Brew shows Davis’s music expanding in “beauty, subtlety and sheer magnificence”, finding it “so rich in its form and substance that it permits and even encourages soaring flights of imagination by anyone who listens”.

avantgardejazz replied to your post “avantgardejazz replied to your post “anyway final score for bayo is...”

i should swallow my pride and do that too. I need to admit to myself I can't play hack n slash games well

honestly my life got so much easier when i finally managed to stop forcing myself to take the more difficult option for the sake of “being good” or thinking it somehow made the experience more complete, games are meant to be fun above all else so whatever helps u have the most fun is the best option

avantgardejazz replied to your post: if you have a laptop. seriously get a separate...

when I just had my laptop w/o keyboard and monitor i had to elevate my entire laptop. i’d take bad typing posture over a cramped neck any day

I've had this theory of opening it super wide, like posing it almost vertically where your hands are close to your body. this is the only acceptable compromise

John Coltrane – Meditations

Meditations is a 1966 album by John Coltrane. The album was considered the “spiritual follow-up to A Love Supreme.” It features Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders as soloists, both playing tenor saxophones. This was the last Coltrane recording to feature his classic quartet lineup of himself, bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner (augmented here as a sextet with Sanders and second drummer Rashied Ali), as both Jones and Tyner would quit the band by early 1966. Sanders, Ali, Garrison and Coltrane’s wife Alice would comprise his next group.
