Thanks, the Ministry evolution was funny, and made me think of this comparably drastic one: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959) [0] to Live-Evil (1971) [1] to Ra

This is bonkers -- I don't really follow/listen to jazz, but was aware of "So What" and the other Miles Davis standards -- I had no idea he went this direction. Was he just stretching the genre as far as possible at this point? The "genre-stretching" thing is something I've been thinking about lately and trying to identify -- the band Swans has done this convincingly imo with rock, especially with the 2013 album "To Be Kind."

  Hi :-) What genre? ..jazz?! I don't think of those second two as jazz. People play music, not genres. They and their music just have to be labelled to put in bins in record stores I guess. Some other Miles "directions": classical/flamenco (1960) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zRx9AYDHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zRx9AYDHQ latin/bossanova (1963) https://youtu.be/PnCg05hrBWs?t=1089 https://youtu.be/PnCg05hrBWs?t=1089 guitar-based rock (1970) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9yWDl0jBc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9yWDl0jBc funk (1972) https://youtu.be/AIqXprCArdo?t=1520 https://youtu.be/AIqXprCArdo?t=1520 Others e.g. Bitches Brew (1970), In a Silent Way (1969), are totally different again from these.
