This DVD examines the next step after the creation of Bitches Brew in 1970...performing these songs live. The 1970 Isle of Wight festival featured Miles with his band Jack DeJohnette, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Gary Bartz, and Dave Holland. Directed by Murray Lerner, the program presents several of the performers who played with Miles, interspersed with the 1970 performance, plus artists including Carlos Santana and Joni Mitchel, who describe the impact Miles had on music. This film will be featured in this year's NY Film Festival.

Just like Bob Dylan before him, Miles Davis challenged the boundaries of an entire genre of music by going "electric" on his groundbreaking 1969 album BITCHES BREW. Expanding upon Miles' previous experiments in jazz fusion, BITCHES BREW blended improvisational rock and jazz into an exciting new style that was highly controversial upon its release, but has since made the album one of the most influential records of all time. MILES ELECTRIC: A DIFFERENT KIND OF BLUE finds the jazz trumpeter performing BITCHES BREW live in concert at the legendary 1970 music festival Isle of Wight. Performance footage is interspersed with interviewed appearances by Miles' former band members Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, as well as admirers such as Carlos Santana and Joni Mitchell.
