This afternoon, Disaster Amnesiac's commute was marred by heavy traffic in downtown Oakland. Thankfully, the iPod brought up Miles Davis' epic jam, Bitches Brew, from the album of the same name. Twenty seven minutes of pure musical glory!
Miles, thank you for your spacious trumpet playing, simultaneously free and restrained. Thank you for assembling an amazing band, one that features pinwheeling psych keyboards along side spidery guitar runs. Thank you for letting one drummer slam furious beats and another tap out icy latticeworks. Thank you for allowing a Brazilian percussionist to add his Third World sounds to the mix. Thank you, Miles, for featuring deep, rich, acoustic bass, paired with funky electric bass. Miles, thanks for letting Teo Macero cut, paste, and mix the jams that you arranged for.
Miles Davis, you invented about four different genres of future music with one extended jam, a jam entitled Bitches Brew. Thank you Miles, thank you.
