Description
Setting the stage:
I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…
Miles Davis :
Miles Davis was a visionary, a rule-breaker, and a genre-definer who changed the face of music multiple times across his five-decade career. From his early bebop beginnings with Charlie Parker to pioneering cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion, Davis was constantly evolving. He surrounded himself with cutting-edge talent like: John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, and so many more, always pushing toward new musical frontiers. Miles Davis was a cultural icon, blending art, fashion, and attitude into his creative identity. His boldness and electric charisma were mirrored in his music, most notably in groundbreaking albums like Kind of Blue (1959) and Bitches Brew (1970). These works not only transformed jazz but laid the foundation for entire new genres. He remains one of the most influential artists in the history of recorded music.
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew :
Bitches Brew is the sound of boundaries being obliterated. Released in 1970, this double LP is Miles Davis’s revolutionary plunge into the world of jazz fusion which resulted in a wild, electric, and rhythmically dense masterpiece that fuses jazz, rock, funk, and avant-garde into a singular, world-altering sound. With sprawling improvisations and hypnotic grooves, the album features a supergroup of musicians including Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter, and Tony Williams. More than just a landmark in Davis’s discography, Bitches Brew redefined what jazz could be. It won the 1971 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, went platinum (a rare feat for a jazz LP), and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Today, it’s hailed as one of the most daring and influential albums of the 20th century, essential listening not only for jazz aficionados but for anyone interested in the art of fearless experimentation.
