Released in 1970, BITCHES BREW undeniably changed the shape of jazz to come. Fundamentalists groan that it diluted the form, bringing on the fusion plague and sowing the germs of smooth jazz. But a cross-section of adventurous listeners recognized it for the monumental sonic breakthrough it was: slabs of free jazz mixed with hard-funk rhythms, rock's electric textures and a meditative blues spirit, with the studio used as the editing desk to tie these elements together.

The sessions that produced BITCHES BREW lasted three days, but over a handful of dates during the next six months, Miles used the same general core of musicians to create tapestries of a similar cloth. Some of these saw the light on subsequent electric Davis releases (LIVE/EVIL, BIG FUN, CIRCLE IN THE ROUND), others make their debut on this 4 CD compilation. And even these last-in-line pieces are full of prescience and jaw-dropping beauty. A prime example is "Recollections," an 18-minute meditation on a folk theme written by Joe Zawinul that seems like Ravel's "Bolero" distilled with the ambient grooves of Can. It is genius at play, and further proof that Miles' explorations mapped sonic spaces that are ahead of their time decades later.
