Bitches Brew
On Davis' 1970 release "Bitches Brew", Macero continued to expand his innovative practices, and ""Bitches Brew" not only became a controversial classic of musical innovation, it also became renowned for its pioneering use of studio technology." Some of the controversy at the time also stemmed from the use of the word "bitches" in the title. Macero recalls that when Davis told him that he wanted to call it "Bitches Brew", "I thought he was kidding." The album became the best-selling jazz album of its time, selling 500,000 copies by 1976, when most successful jazz albums sold less than 30,000 copies.
