Funny thing about Brew is that when I first bought it and played it, I sat there thinking, "Good Lord, what have I done!?", but after a few more listens, I really started to like it. I can certainly understand it not being to everybody's taste, but it just seems to strike something in me.
Thanks for the link. I've heard the odd piece from that I think, or I might be just mixing it up with other renditions of the same stuff. Until now I didn't have the album. That is about to change.

Anyway, this is the kind of stuff I can just sit, put my head back, and drift off into. You may or may not agree but one of my favourite Miles pieces is still Bitches Brew. It just kind of talks to me. >

>Also..have you ever listened to "Dig"? Goes back to 1951, and I believe it was with Sonny Rollins. Some good stuff as well.

>Finally....if you don't have this....this is AWESOME.
