This is getting way OT, but I got my father "The Essential Miles Davis"
(Double CD) for Xmas. Was a little wary as this usually involves having to
sit through it on Xmas Day, but this is one CD I don't regret getting him !!
Very very cool stuff. Especially his early stuff, for me, was great.
Oh well, I guess I'm a little behind some of you guys in your knowledge of
Miles, so I'll leave it there for now.
Hope everyone had good holidays, btw.
Jon

Yeah, that´s it - "Bird lives" - and even so Miles - he had the sixth, or
seventh, sense for other genious musicians, first of all Coltrane; i think
Miles give them all freedom, to play their really soul, to touch the hearts
of all of us, who could hear.
Susan Sontag, maybe - i´m thinking more to Eilton Erickson, the method of
"modelling" - i think Miles had had the possibility to give his "sidemen"
the power to realize their own "dream", their own "sound", a view into their
"soul".
