87. Miles Davis: Bitches Brew (1970)

This week Beck Did it Better is some kind of cool when the guys host a podcast about Miles Davis and Bitches Brew. If our last episode left you kind of blue, don't worry because this is the best jazz fusion podcast for you.

 

Before we get to the album we play everybody's favorite game of Air-in or Air-out and hear a hilarious story about getting dumped at a dance. Then Russ wants to know if you have to sing on stage at a piano bar. Aaron is getting a perfect gift because his son goes to a zero waste school, although we are big waist guys. Matt gives some great parenting advice about parking at sporting events. And Rob has an unforgettable first experience with canned oysters.  

 

Then at (52:00) we're talking about one of the most influential jazz albums of all time, Bitches Brew. We discuss how Miles Davis used tape edits to create the album, listening to jazz at the gym, and the best trumpet songs ever.

Please mention feet if you do. If we can get "Aaron loves feet" to be something that is searchable online, I feel like this will all be worth it. 

 

Next week, we're getting away from jazz and ch ch ch changing the podcast to cover some "real songs" as we prove for the third time that we are the best David Bowie podcast when we discuss Hunky Dory.
