A number of precursors, but the birth (for better or for worse) of 'fusion' here. I love the jazz tuning to the drums in a 'rock' context, something I always enjoyed from Tony Williams. As to Bitches Brew, some of my favorite drumming 40 years on. They all look back on it wistfully I'm sure. Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul egging everyone on. I bet Chick can't listen to that without getting misty. I never get tired of listening to 'Pharoh's Dance'.
the Bitches Brew recording sessions were just a bunch of jams, Davis instructed as they went. Teo Marceo then created a number of the titles that eventually appeared on the album by editing some of the better out-takes together, listen carefully to the original and you will hear actual looping sections that functioned as segues. There's a full breakdown of the entire session featured in The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions release that came out originally in 1998.
This is from the "Deep Brew" bootleg CD's (there are 2 volumes). Both are most excellent. Can probably be found as torrents somewhere, or bought. I bought my copies online.
got to disagree with you about the bitches brew album. some of the most literate, lyrical and seductive electronic improv music ever made w/one of the most mesmeric mixes ever designed. but hey thats what makes horse races and youtube. heard zawinul hated these sessions until he heard teo's mix months later,loved em but didn't recognize them--a testament to teo's wizardry. this definitely sounds like the live gigs tho. 70s miles reinvented jazz in his own image; he's still way ahead of us.
I have the same sessions on CD. Bob Belden at Columbia or whoever the hell failed to put these on the COMPLETE Bitches Brew. My mouth was agape 2 years ago when I first listened to these. Miles was methodical. He knew what he wanted. Why do you think "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down", performed months before recorded, sounds totally different. It gives us greater insight to what Miles had in mind.

great idea to feature more of marty klarwein's paintings in this video, since he made the amazing cover art for this one
