Not just as a reissue with some unreleased material, but in the format of an entire live album! ‘Bitches Brew Live’ can be expected on February 8 of the new year. It contains nine rare live performances that comprise repertoire from the studio album and the one that preceded it, 1969’s ‘In A Silent Way’.

More than four decades after the original release, Miles Davis’ first RIAA gold album ‘Bitches Brew’ will be re-released. Not just as a reissue with some unreleased material, but in the format of an entire live album! ‘Bitches Brew Live’ can be expected on February 8 of the new year.

The album adds another dimension to the album’s prismatic reputation. Its nine rare live performances comprise repertoire from the studio album and the one that preceded it, 1969’s In A Silent Way.
