Jarlaxle 56 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What is everyone's? Currently I'm listening to Nefertiti, Tony Williams is ripping it up on the drum kit on this one, so it's either this or Bitches Brew likely. Yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 A couple underrated ones would have to be Sketches of Spain and Dark Magus, the latter being impossible to find physically, unfortunately for me. Sketches of Spain has Miles' version of Joaquin Rodrigo's classic "Concierto De Aranjuez", only one of the slow movements I believe though, and then another reworked composition with which I'm not really familiar (El amor brujo by Manuel de Falla according to wikipedia) Dark Magus is some psychedelic electric jazz, recorded at Carnegie Hall in 1974. It's pretty mindblowing stuff, puts Pink Floyd's experimental stuff to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashmir330 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Probably Birth of the Cool or Kind of Blue. Haven't heard Bitches Brew yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Kind of Blue. When Rick Wright talked about how inspired he was by that album when Pink Floyd were making Dark Side of the Moon, I had to go out and buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Bitches Brew is a crazy album, the first time I heard it I had never heard anything like it before. You're in for a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 FWIW, the brother's that introduced me to Led Zeppelin were the same brother's that introduced me to Miles Davis and Hendrix. To quote an old phrase...."Far Out Man" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Nice to see Dark Magus mentioned, thats probabley my fav of the 1001 fusion era live albums. I actually preffer In A Silent Way and A Tribute to Jack Johnson to Bitches Brew for studio fusion albums, Get Up With It is also very underated. Very middle class whiteboy but I always remember listening to "he loved him madly" while standing round a campfire in the himalayas as the sunset....

Jimmy Jam Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Kind of Blue just hair above Bitches Brew When I got Kind of Blue that album took me into a new musical direction. As time went on I bought more albums by Miles plus some box sets. Miles Davis are expensive but they are worth every penny as far as I'm concerned.

Aquamarine Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Sketches of Spain, no contest. Then the album with Coltrane (called something original like Miles and Coltrane). Then Birth of the Cool and Kind of Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
