I just don't get what is meant to be so great about this album.

It's just a whole lotta noise to me.

I bet half the people that claim it's one of there favorite albums never listen to it.

to me he started to develop as an artist during those years , he was doing his thing , his vision more then before ( imo) because he didnt want to be that kind of blue guy for the rest of his life.
i dont own the album( yet) but tracks such as sanctuary and bitches brew are great , but it took me some time to get in too it. as if he challenges his fans and music lovers to get in to that kind of music

that album cover is great , i can look at it for days

I've never got into Bitches Brew. My absolute favourite from this era, and one that never seems to get talked about much, is Big Fun. That is an amazing album.

Bought it on CD, used, New Years 2007. Couldn't believe some didn't want it. It's said that it was the start of jazz fusion, that's what makes it landmark. I bump it every now and then.

Hell yeah it was the start of jazz fusion lol From that band came Chick Corea and Lenny White (Return To Foever),Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul (Weather Report), and John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra)

i need black coffee and non-filter cigarettes when listening...then it's fantastic!
