DON’T SLEEP: Blasphemous Jazz: The Bitches Brew Sessions [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]
Sir Froderick told me about a month or so ago that he, Knxwledge, Mndsgn, Swarvy, Josh Hey, Stainless Steel & Cold Seltzers played a show back in June where they each played a set live with reworked Miles Davis compositions from “Bitches Brew”. Being that at one point there was an unwritten rule that you weren’t supposed to flip “certain” classic jazz albums (i.e. “Kind Of Blue”, “My Favorite Things”, “Bitches Brew”, etc.) they decided to call it “Blasphemous Jazz”.
I’ve had an ID3 tagless version of these same WAV’s & mp3’s on my MacBook iTunes Library for more than a month but now YOU all get to finally hear how absolutely genius this is for yourselves. Salute to Stainless Steele for laying down bars over some of the sets as well. I present to you all, “Blasphemous Jazz”. DON’T SLEEP!
