Genius Annotation

The 27-minute long title track of Miles Davis' critically acclaimed avant-garde jazz and jazz fusion album Bitches Brew, which combines improvised jazz, rock, and funk music with possibly musique concrète-inspired, tape-loop-utilizing post-production and an abandoning of Davis' previous relaxed playing style for loud, aggressive, and psychedelic trumpet-playing.

Genius Answer

While Miles Davis' voice is audible, most of his words can’t be deciphered due to the much louder sounds of the backing instruments. In fact, Davis is actually whispering instructions to his musicians as hinted by his use of “Keep it tight”, “John”, or signaling tempo.
