Bitches Brew and direct derivates/offshoots

Miles' BB album was responsible for a few offshoot that can be directly attibuted to it

Indeed, if Herbie wasn't on the BB sessions, it's because he was on his honeymoon, but he clearly belongs to the BB legacy, and via Julian Priester, the link is solid.

True, but it is an offshot.

Mahavishnu Orchestra, no doubt about it!

Out of these, Mahavishnu without hesitation.

RTF

Some might suggest MO is an off-shoot of Lifetime and Miles borrowed McLaughlin..................

and the first RTF album is more about Corea's Latin jazz upbringing.

My favrourite on the list is Mwandishi, love the album.

I don't really get the Julain Priester reference, though.  Priester released one of my absolute favorite albums in JRF (anyone who knows me reasonably at all from PA will know how much I love Love, Love), but he wasn't on Bitches Brew that I know of.  I think you meant to say the Mwandishi group player, Bennie Maupin who is on Bitches Brew.  The Jewel in the Lotus is a wonderful album.  Another few albums I would have liked to see on this list that I think wonderful from Bitches Brew alumni are Wyane Shorter's fantastic Odyssey of Iska, Lenny White's Venusian Summer (the suite is so good), and Larry Young's Lawrence of Newark -- I could go on cause the BB alumni are amazing.

When i just saw the title, I thought you mean more infleunced by BB, in which case Donald Byrd's Electric Byrd is a fantastic album.
