Bitches Brew - An example of editing to create musical structure in the title track

by Enrico Merlin



The issued version is structured in two parts: the first part is used as Intro, Interlude and Coda. The second part, or Solos Section, is based on a vamp and is used to develop the solos. The beginning of the ostinato of the second section was created by looping a phrase that starts at 2:50.
