Title: Dated and badly........
Review: I remember listening to this album when it was first released. The hippie heads told me this was "jazz". Well it really wasn't then, nor is it now, and time hasn't been very kind to this album either. It sounds very dated in 2005; hell by 1973 it sounded pretty badly dated for that matter. This might have been a soundtrack for the Woodstock kids who finally made their way home from the festival, but to the rest of the world this should be little more than the link between Miles' classic 60's acoustic jazz and his fusion classic Jack Johnson released in 1971 and his other electric fusion work in the 70's as well.I can't even imagine buying this album in the expanded box set either. Why would you want to? I mean I have a ton of respect for Miles Davis, but Bitches Brew was a product of its' times, and those times are long gone. Contrary to what Columbia tells you on those stickers found on every Miles re-release....this is NOT a "classic".
Is the review positive or negative?
