Bring Me the Head of Miles Davis and Other Jazz Luminaries, sometimes abbreviated to BMtHoMDaOJL, is the first full-length album by multinational jazz-noise collective Desert Island Dicks. It was jointly released in 2007 by Britain's Amoebic Productions label and Australia's Glitch City.

The album consists of time-compressed versions of three well-known albums by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, namely 1969's Bitches Brew, 1959's Kind of Blue and 1960's Sketches of Spain. Each track on these albums is condensed from its original length to one of ninety seconds, thus compressing each one at a ratio relative to its original length. The effect produced has been described as "ironically guidelined free jazz", as "massively compressed, like a shot of Turkish coffee... [a] formula [that] isn't always going to be entirely successful... [b]ut when it works, it can sometimes shock you into hearing the original in something of a new light", and as "either... total win or total fail, but probably the latter".
