Coltrane, I can tell you haven't posted too often on this thread; we liked "Kind of Blue", but only one of us went "Ga Ga" over it. We're not the crowd that has several vinyl copies.
I'm from Miles neighborhood, I even found a mistake in his autobiography about "our" neighborhood; he said he lived on 14th and Broadway, it was actually 15th and Broadway.
The mistake was made because he lived in the last building in the 1400 block of Broadway.
I even knew many of the people he mentioned; one lady he said her name was Josephine or Alma; it was Alma Eubanks, the doctors wife. I never knew all these details until I read his autobiography. I never met him, he was 15 years older than me; or knew so much about him until I read his book, and he had joined that big band in the sky by that time.
I liked all of Miles music he made in the 50's, and a lot in later years as well, but I also like a lot of other jazz musicians.
Here's one I especially like in the 50's;
