Song Whitehorse by singer Taylor Swift

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …
