#94 - Bitches Brew (Miles Davis)
by Brady Paron | | 1 comment
This has been an interesting listening experience, as I've worked through Bitches Brew many times.

It's got enough of an edge to have a great rock sound that references classic rock guitar riffs. But again, that's all balanced with the clean...
