--- Quote from: Misereatur ---You have to understand the Bitch's Brew was Miles expirimenting with Jazz Rock. Back then nobody did it, and Miles was really the first to realise that he could use Rock's rythem section and electric instruments in his Jazz. When the album first came out many Jazz artists called Miles a sellout and said the album was'nt Jazz. They were'nt so far off, it is'nt pure Jazz.
Its a great album, yeah, but it's not what that guy is looking for.
Plus, if he does, I'd highly recommend going over Miles' albums before that one, just to see where he came from.

As much as I'd like to go on a "PURE-BREED GENRES?! PAH!!" tirade, you're on point.
I guess if you're looking to get into jazz from the perspective of someone already familiar with rock music, listening to Bitches' may be an effective way to do it.
Mind you, I once listened to it followed by Birth of The Cool and my mind unwittingly tried to set up comparison between the two - even though you can't, because they're really two completely different things. So with that in mind, it might be a better idea to listen to something like Round About Midnight.
And yup, Bitches' is on two CDs. I meant to say that the second one was bonus material and that the two tracks were on the original cut, but my brain's been cook'd the past couple of days from writing about Mozart operas >_< Sorry guys.

can you really say this with a straight face?

Why?
Thanks for all the suggestions, it will take some time to work through it all. I am loving Miles Davies at the moment though, and most of everything else you have suggested that I have had a chance to sample... Except maybe the vocal stuff (with the exeption of Nina Simone), I seem to prefer instrumental jazz....
A big thanks to Inlander, your posts really helped. Thanks especially for suggesting albums, it helps to have a place to start....

It's just I think you should be more self-critical about the supposed "diversity" of your music tastes if you think those artists are indicative of it.
also to add to recs. Free Jazz classics (some already mentioned)
Albert Ayler - Live in Greenwich Village (complete impluse sessions)
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Peter Brotzman - Nipples, Machine Gun
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come, Free Jazz
Some of these (especially the Brotzman albums) aren't exactly accessable, but they can represent some of the best of jazz (that ayler set is so incredibly awesome). Maybe try The Shape of Jazz to Come first, its probably the most accessable followed by Out to Lunch
