    so good. this piece has aged incredibly well. i think it sounds amazing. and if it's available on itunes, amazon or elsewhere for 99 cents with that line-up and a length of 26+ minutes, it has to be the best value ever. as if that really had anything to do with it...

    Each time the trumpet strikes, I feel like a set of lasers are blasting through my brains.

    Always loved it. It's jazz. Call it Bitches Brew or whatever. By any other name it would sound as sweet. The great, inventive, innovative Miles at his wah wah best with electronic funk and echo.....superb mastery.
