Well... uh... actually...
Bill Laswell is currently working on a remix album of the work of ...
(better take this sitting down) -
Miles Davis.
Miles was _the_ musical innovator of the second half of this century; I
can't imagine he'd mind being remixed. It's only some of his old-time fans
that play purist with his music; Miles was the original trend-setter /
rule-bender / pioneer-mutant. "Bitches Brew" itself was despised by many
Miles fans who were accustomed to his earlier be-bop style, just as many of
those who loved his "Bitches Brew" style hated his later funk style, and
what about his later incursions into pop-fusion, hip-hop, go-go...? The
Miles method was the method of constant r/evolution. Bill Laswell, if
anything, has a similar aesthetic, and I'm sure he'll do Miles proud, and
probably annoy many Miles purists. I, for one, can't wait to hear the
results!
