Recorded at the end of a tumultuous decade (August 1969), Miles Davis  Bitches Brew reflected the chaos and beauty of a society stretched (and stressed) to its breaking point. This genre-bending, barrier-smashing double LP would become Miles first RIAA gold album. It was also the record that virtually single-handedly brought jazz into the commercial rock era, earning a place at No. 94 on Rolling Stone magazine s list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.Â
Released in April of 1970, Bitches Brew was informed by and reflective of the music that Miles heard being produced in the late- 60s by Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, James Brown, Santana, Marvin Gaye and others, as well as the Beatles post-production editing pyrotechnics. The original double-LP s six tracks, as formulated in the studio by Miles and his long-time producer Teo Macero, presented a seismic breakthrough in jazz rock funk R&B. The tracks comprised the 20-minute side-long Pharaoh s Dance (a Joe Zawinul composition), followed by four Miles compositions, the 27-minute side-long Bitches Brew, then Spanish Key, John McLaughlin, and Miles Runs the VooDoo Down, concluding with the Wayne Shorter composition, Sanctuary.
Bitches Brew also introduced the memorable cover art of the late Mati Klarwein. His uniquely surreal, psychedelic motifs caught the hallucinogenic essence of Bitches Brew (and a year later in 1971, Miles  Live-Evil), as well as Santana s iconic Abraxas in 1970, the Last Poets  This Is Madness in 1971, Earth Wind & Fire s Last Days and Time in 1972, and dozens more album covers.
