YOU ARE BIDDING ON A "NEW/MINT" NEVER PLAYED MOSAIC BOX SET NUMBER MQ6-183, TITLED "MILES DAVIS: THE COMPLETE BITCHES BREW SESSIONS (AUGUST 1969-FEBRUARY 1970). THIS OUT-OF-PRINT LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION CONTAINS 6 LP'S AND IS NUMBER 57 OUT OF 5,000. "WHEN MILES WENT INTO THE STUDIO ON AUGUST 19, 1969 TO RECORD WHAT WOULD BECOME BITCHES BREW, HE KEPT THE GUITAR AND MULTIPLE KEYBOARDS THAT HAD DEVELOPED DURING HIS SILENT WAY PERIOD. BUT NOW HE REFASHIONED THE FRONT LINE TO CONSIST OF TRUMPET, SOPRANO SAXOPHONE AND BASS CLARINET AND ADDED ADDITIONAL DRUMS AND PERCUSSION TO THE MIX. OVER THREE DAYS IN THE STUDIO, HE FASHIONED THIS ENSEMBLE INTO A TEXTURAL TREASURE TROVE. SOME OF THE MATERIAL, LIKE MILES RUNS THE VOODOO DOWN, SPANISH KEY AND SANCTUARY, HAD BEEN BROKEN BY THE QUINTET THAT SUMMER. BITCHES BREW, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN (WHICH WAS ACTUALLY THE FINAL SECTION OF BITCHES BREW) AND JOE ZAWINUL'S PHAROH'S DANCE WERE DEVELOPED IN THE STUDIO. MILES DAVIS INSISTED THAT THESE LONG TRACKS (MOST IN THE 20 MINUTE RANGE) COME OUT AS A DOUBLE ALBUM. A VERY UNCOMMERCIAL PACKAGE BY ANY STANDARD. YET, SOMEHOW BITCHES BREW TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN STEAM, GETTING RADIO PLAY ON MORE UNDERGROUND ROCK STATIONS THAN JAZZ STATIONS. MILES DAVIS SOON HAD THE FIRST, AND MOST UNLIKELY, GOLD ALBUM OF HIS CAREER. SOON THE QUINTET ADDED ROCK PALACES TO ITS TOUR ITINERARY AND WITH MILES MOVING SO FAST BITCHES BREW WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY A CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT AND A FOOTNOTE IN HIS CAREER. ITS INFLUENCE, HOWEVER, IS LASTING AND FAR REACHING". ALONG WITH MILES YOU'LL HEAR: WAYNE SHORTER, BENNIE MAUPIN, JOE ZAWINUL, CHICK COREA, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, DAVE HOLLAND, HARVEY BROOKS, LENNY WHITE, JACK DEJOHNETTE, BILLY COBHAM, AIRTO MORIERA AND OTHERS. WHAT OTHER FIGURE IN THE JAZZ WORLD OTHER THAN MILES DAVIS COULD LAY CLAIM TO SUCH AN INCREDIBLE FAMILY? THE MUSICAL LEGACY OF THESE IMPORTANT MUSICIANS AND THEIR ART WILL LIVE BEYOND ALL OF US! BE SURE TO BID ON THIS PRISTINE COLLECTION (AND LOW NUMBER "57") BEFORE ITS GONE. SET INCLUDES 20 PAGE DESCRIPTIVE BOOKLET. BID WITH CONFIDENCE FROM A SELLER WHO HAS PERFECT FEEDBACK. SHIPPING & HANDLING VIA UPS OR USPS (AT SELLER'S DISCRETION) $18.00 U.S. $28.00 CANADIAN. UNITED STATES & CANADIAN BUYS ONLY!! PLEASE CONTACT SELLER WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
