* AllAboutJazz.com has a lengthy excerpt from the recently published book Listen to This: Miles Davis and Bitches Brew, in which author Victor Svorinich details the day-to-day progress of the tracking sessions for one of the most influential albums of Davis' electric period.
* For the vinyl enthusiasts out there, MilesDavis.com has more details on the Record Store Day exclusive Miles Davis: The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 2, a facsimile reissue (pictured) box set that includes newly minted copies of Miles Davis All Star Sextet, Miles Davis Quintet, Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis All Stars Vol. 1, and Miles Davis All Stars Vol. 2. The set goes on sale for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 15.
* Proving that Miles Davis' influence still extends from coast to coast and beyond, Los Angeles NPR affiliate KCRW's program "Tom Schnabel's Rhythm Planet" recently did a special episode about "The DNA of Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain," while New York magazine inevitably included a Davis-related anecdote in their look last week at "New York After Midnight"
