Miles Davis - The Little Blue Frog

Sunday, time for a classic.

Yesterday it was the third and last drop for the Record Store Day. With a small budget for this day I only baught one RSD title bedides a few others that was only at a great price during this event. As the record is a classic so why not share it here today.

Half a century on from its release, shockwaves from Miles Davis’ "Bitches Brew" continue to reverberate throughout the universe. Leading more than a dozen all-stars in the studio (including Wayne Shorter on soprano sax, John McLaughlin on electric guitar and a triple-threat electric piano section featuring Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea and Larry Young), Miles defied all conventional styles, joining the loose ends of jazz, rock and funk into a groundbreaking new sound that would eventually become known quite plainly as fusion. This double album, featuring ten embryonic recordings which paved the way for the final album, is issued for the first time as a standalone release on opaque red vinyl for Record Store Day 2020.

Today's tune taken from the RSD album "Double Image: Rare Miles From the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions" is the jazz fusion and raga rock track "The Little Blue Frog", recorded in 1969, was first officially released on the 1998 compilation album The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions. It was then included on the 2000 reissue of Big Fun. A short excerpt, titled Little Blue Frog, was included on the 2010 Bitches Brew: Legacy Edition. Enjoy!
