Jazz Milestones

Soundcheck | Sep 3, 2010

Last year, jazz fans celebrated the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis’s masterpiece, Kind of Blue. This year marks the 40th anniversary of his fusion classic, Bitches Brew. But Miles Davis fans remain divided over which album has been the more influential. It's Blue versus Brew in this week’s Soundcheck Smackdown. And later: Live music from the Franco-Finnish indie pop duo The Dø.
