With ‘Bitches Brew,’ Davis didn’t just burn bridges, he broke down barriers between genres and made a mockery of the artificial boundaries that confined others.

Music can be transformative and transportative, and ‘Kind of Blue’ accomplishes these feats like few other albums ever have or ever will.

Widely considered to be the start of Davis’ “electric” period, ‘In A Silent Way’ was yet another example of the artist changing the course of not just jazz music, but music period.
