After re discovering Bitches Brew and listening to it more recently, I have a few comments and question to this forum members.
As jazz is my favorite music genre, I also listen to other genre, but jazz, all kind of jazz, as been on top of my listening time for a good 15 years now, of course, Miles Davis music is part of what I listen to.

Bitches Brew, as never been, until recently, something I really liked. Even today, when I appreciate it very much, I am not even sure it is jazz. Music, yes, absolutely! Jazz?, not so sure.
It is one of those album, that first intrigued me without really feeling anything, I was not sure to what I was supposed to listen to.
Was I suppose to listen loud? not loud? And then, eventually, I started to like it, and eventually love it.
Today, I listen to it as a whole, as what the music make me feel, not at what the ( extraordinary ) musicians, and there is a lot of them, all star cast, are playing. To me, it is not about virtuosity, it is about the sum being everything and the parts being nothing. A lot like a classical piece, where the orchestra plays as one unit.
Questions
How did you acquire a taste for Bitches Brew, Love at first site or acquired taste?
Is it jazz?
Is a great sound system, speakers or headphones a pre requisite, to be able to grasp what an album like Bitches Brew bring to the table?
