Question for my Jazz friends.
As prep for the new book club (Visions of Jazz: The First Century - go sign up), I randomly chose a Miles Davis album. I deliberately chose an album whose title I’d never heard of, and picked Get Up With It, one of his later albums.
Perhaps that’s not the Davis album you’d normally suggest to a jazz noob like me, but I’m glad I chose it because it really resonated with me. Is this really jazz? It sounds like a weird prog rock jam album to me. But really good weird prog rock jamming. I love it.
I then went to Bitches Brew and loved that too, so I will explore Miles’ electric period some more.
If I like Miles’ electric albums, can you suggest some other artists and albums that I should try that have a similar sound?
