Wed 18th December: Wax On Wednesdays - Miles Davis' In A Silent Way (1969) & Bitches Brew (1970)
On Wednesdays, we spin two classic albums, on wax, back-to-back from 8pm. Free entry, $15 cocktails all night, and you know the music is gonna be great. We also invite audience members to share a personal reflection, anecdote, amusing story or a piece of writing about either album or artist.
This week we're highlighting the early years of Miles Davis' extremely fertile 'electric' period which birthed the fusion classics, In A Silent Way (1969) and Bitches Brew (1970). Both albums are essentially mood pieces which both sustain and expand their respective states of mind through some of the most innovative music ever recorded. We can't wait to turn this music up and simply bask in the magnificence.
