More than fifty years after its release, Bitches Brew still sounds like a leap into the unknown. It remains one of Miles Davis' boldest reinventions, a work whose influence extends well beyond jazz into electronic music, rock and experimental sound.

For Yazz Ahmed and her band featuring Samuel Hällkvist (guitar), Alcyona Mick (keyboards), Rosa Brunello (bass), Jason Singh (beatbox) and Rod Youngs (drums), reimagining it meant neither recreating nor updating the original, but continuing its spirit of exploration.
