[Lord Damian]

Best jazz fusion record ever? i dunno, haven't had much exposure to this genre, but this is a pretty fucking fantastic album...you can smell the sweat in that New York studio 40 years ago.

 

[Jackson.Bollock]

Probably.
I'm not sure what you mean by jazz fusion but it's a great record, nonethless.

i'm not sure what i mean by jazz fusion either, but i understand that's what it is.

A quick perusal of Wikipedia would suggest 'jazz fusion' runs the gamut from The Byrds' 'Eight Miles High' through to Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan and Kenny G.

Therefore 'Supersilent 6' is my favourite jazz-fusion record.

 

[trensmat]

its great, thats what it is. headhunters too

 

[ernesto]

its mad the way its a complete remix of everything.
they cut the tapes into pieces and reconstructed it all. i think - or else im thinking of a completely different album.
great work on all levels anyway.
class.

it's when jazz reaches a temperature so high, it becomes self-sustaining.

Weather Report - Heavy Weather

is a deadly fusion record.

i think you're confused, dear.

or maybe i am. all i know is that it doesn't sound like it's that kind of album.

my mistake - apparently there was some pretty crazy editing that the band had to learn to play on subsequent live stages.

I think that's 'in a silent way' you're thinking of.
Another incredible Miles Davis LP.
I think I like 'Big Fun' just as much if not more than 'Bitches Brew'

is it not panthalassa that he's talking about? the bill laswell thing. really great record that. afaik, in a silent way and bitches brew were big long sessions, but i never heard anything about splicing tapes together. i could be wrong. love them both though. get up with it is another great 70's miles album.

also in that vein, and similar sounding to 70's miles davis, is 'sunburst' by eddie henderson. brilliant album.

and another good one by weather report is 'sweetnighter'

Bitches Brew = good LP. Takes ages to get into though.

favourite Miles ?

Sketches Of Spain.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

the Inspiral Carpets song, Bitches Brew is pretty cool too.
