Jazz: i 100 migliori album di sempre

La storia del jazz è fatta di album straordinari, vere e proprie opere geniali che hanno cambiato il jazz e e la musica nel suo insieme. Dischi che hanno ispirato altri artisti, che hanno spostato in avanti il confine dell'ispirazione e della sperimentazione.

Un'epopea, quella del jazz, fatta da musicisti geniali, capaci di partiture incendiarie e fulminanti.

Per questo simbolicamente, al primo posto abbiamo messoBITCHES BREW di Miles Davis.

Un album meravigliosamente visionario e dalla ricchezza sonora straripante (due bassi, due batterie, una chitarra elettrica, sax, percussioni e pianoforti elettrici), considerato il primo grande incontro tra jazz e rock (imperdibile Miles runs the voodoo down con la tromba di Davis che "insegue" Jimi Hendrix), ma soprattutto uno dei dischi più importanti e influenti di sempre.
