  The Art of Rome - Masterpieces...

  The art of ancient Rome was shaped by a blend of cultural influences, evolving through a combination of native traditions and foreign influences, most notably from the Etruscans and Greeks. Early Roman art was heavily influenced by the Etruscans, who occupied central Italy before the rise of Rome. Etruscan art was characterized by its religious themes, vibrant frescoes, and elaborate tomb paintings, which had a significant impact on the early Roman artistic style. These early Roman artists often adopted Etruscan methods but began incorporating their own innovations, creating a distinctive blend of the two cultures. 
  Greek art also played a crucial role in the development of Roman art. As Rome expanded and conquered Greece, it absorbed many aspects of Greek culture, including their artistic styles. Greek sculptural ideals of beauty, proportion, and harmony were emulated by Roman artists. However, while Greek art favored idealized forms and perfection, Roman art took a more realistic approach, focusing on depicting individuals as they truly appeared. Roman portraiture, for example, was known for its attention to detail, capturing the wrinkles, facial expressions, and other characteristics that defined a person’s likeness. This move toward realism was a major shift from the idealized forms of Greek art, and it became a hallmark of Roman artistry. 
  In the early stages of Roman art, the primary medium was sculpture, often used to commemorate important figures or events. The Romans developed a talent for creating lifelike statues and busts, which were displayed in homes and public spaces to honor ancestors and gods. These sculptures, often made from marble or bronze, served as a means of preserving the memory of individuals or celebrating military victories.

  Miles Davis' Bitches Brew

  George Grella Jr.

  It was 1969, and Miles Davis, prince of cool, was on the edge of being left behind by a dynamic generation of young musicians, an important handful of whom had been in his band. Rock music was flying off in every direction, just as America itself seemed about to split at its seams. Following the circumscribed grooves and ambiance of In A Silent Way; coming off a tour with a burning new quintet—called ‘The Lost Band’—with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette; he went into the studio with musicians like frighteningly talented guitarist John McLaughlin, and soulful Austrian keyboardist Joe Zawinul. Working with his essential producer, Teo Macero, Miles set a cauldron of ideas loose while the tapes rolled. At the end, there was the newly minted Prince of Darkness, a completely new way forward for jazz and rock, and the endless brilliance and depth of Bitches Brew.Bitches Brew is still one of the most astonishing albums ever made in either jazz or rock. Seeming to fuse the two, it actually does something entirely more revolutionary and open-ended: blending the most avant-garde aspects of Western music with deep grooves, the album rejects both jazz and rock for an entirely different idea of how music can be made.
