Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (Columbia/Legacy, 1999)

Tantas referencias a este disco en Jazz en la Web me llevaron a incluirlo. Bitches Brew es considerado por algunos el álbum más revolucionario de la historia del jazz. Da forma a todo un estilo: el jazz-rock o jazz-fusion, que dominará, al menos, los siguientes tres lustros. Para otros, es el último gran disco de Miles Davis. Finalmente, hay quienes opinan que ésto no es jazz. Lo cierto es que Bitches Brew, del mismo modo que toda la música de Miles, siempre innovadora, controversial, nunca pasará desapercibido. (Columbia, 1970).
