"Bitch brew." How Miles Davis Revolutionized Jazz 50 Years Ago
Exactly half a century ago, on March 30, 1970, an album by Miles Davis called Bitches Brew was released. The album radically changed the whole picture of jazz, laid the foundations for new musical styles - jazz-rock, fusion, psychedelic jazz - and determined the development of improvised music for the coming decades.

In the late 50s, his first "great" quintet with John Coltrane and Bill Evans laid the foundations of "modal jazz" and recorded Kind of Blue, which is considered the greatest jazz album to this day.
In those same years, he remembered that behind him - not only wandering around jazz clubs, but also a solid classical education at Juilliard, one of the best conservatories in America, and, together with the orchestra of the composer and arranger Gil Evans, recorded several magnificent orchestral records that put the beginning and became classics of the "third trend", popular at the turn of the 1950s-60s, the idea of synthesis of jazz and classical music.
