Review by Walli Nov 18, 2002

After the universal success of the 4-CD Deluxe Box, The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions (C4K 65570), Legacy has expanded and improved upon the original 2-LP set in several key ways. The same 20-Bit Digitally Remixed & Remastered sources from the box set have been used for this reissue, which now includes one rare bonus track - "Feio" by Wayne Shorter. The classic original liners by Ralph J. Gleason are reprinted New liners by Michael Cuscuna and Bob Belden shed new light on the creation of Bitches Brew, including commentary from many musicians. Booklet is full of rare and/or previously unpublished photos. COLLECTIVE PERSONNEL: Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Bennie Maupin, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Harvey Brooks, Don Alias, Lenny White, Jumma Santos, Larry Young.
