Bitches Brew – “Gooey Dewey ” – [Flatbed Lamborgini]

David Richoux   1/19/2005   CD, Jazz

A lot of die-hard jazz fanatics were extremely pissed when Miles went into his “electro-fusion” period, mixing effects, rock instruments and “non-jazz” elements to his work. This recording is a tribute to those times (much like “Yo Miles”) but the focus is more on the interplay between the sax and trumpet with the rhythm section mostly relegated to laying down a strong groove. Marc Collins on didjeridoo (track 4) is a nice change-up. If you like Electro-Miles, you will like this recording… *review by David Richoux
