Rabshakeh Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 4 hours ago, jazzbo said: I've been revisiting this London Brew thing. Disc 1 makes more sense to me this time. . . I've decided that parts of it remind me more of "Miles Davis at Fillmore" than "Bitches Brew" (the synth interplay being like Keith and Chick in ways, and some reminds me of "The Mask") and though parts of the second track might be conceived to be like "Pharaoh's Dance". . .it is a lot more like "Ife" and some of "Get Up With It." The horns are more dominant on the second disc and I like that more and forget about trying to see what was "Bitches Brew" inspired etc. What is it?

BillF Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Now playing: The sound of tiny cymbals and vibes on this one reminds me of a joke back in the day that when the MJQ played at Newport small boys rolled empty drinks cans down the stone steps. 😄 But they did attract enormous audiences. People who wouldn't be seen dead at a jazz gig (except one with Dave Brubeck) flocked in droves to hear them, which I suppose is why I never went. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
