When Miles Davis published Bitches Brew (1970), the jazz traditionalists did the same and the album revived jazz from its ashes and was the beginning of the jazz fusion era which prevailed for the next decade. Davis made jazz traditionalists shook their heads many times during his long and revolutionary career.

Miles hated stagnation. Probably also the reason why – starting with Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancock and ending with John McLaughlin – he was always on the lookout for the “young savages”. The list goes on and on!
