Jazz for aficionados
"Miles Davis"; I have had a long time love and not like so much affair with Mr. Davis's music. We're from the same "neighborhood" but I didn't know this until after he was dead, and I read his autobiography. I knew his brother "Vernon" for ages, but it's not like Vernon ran up and down the street screaming "I'm Miles Davis's brother". No, Vernon was his own person, and all the other people I was close to who were Miles best friends never ran up and down the street screaming they were Miles best friend. I was 3 years old when Miles left our neighborhood; consequently, I knew him the same as everyone else, as a jazz fan. The fact that I'm listening to Miles right now, prompted me to write this. "Miles Plus 19" is the title of the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSwyd0E767Y&list=PLWd-jTB7nuz0rUSpXhhmb6DFP2b32etQj As a matter of fact, the beautiful lady who introduced me to this album lived next door to the big house where Vernon still lived, that was Miles childhood homestead. Beside liking every cut on this album, that was a beautiful time for me with nothing but wonderful memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9eUqMbxWBs&list=PLWd-jTB7nuz0rUSpXhhmb6DFP2b32etQj&index=7 |
Brilliant record. Herbie Hancock plays classic Rock and R&B tunes in a Jazz groove with an all-star lineup......and it works, big time. A bit of a rarity, Michael Brecker on soprano and killing it. God, how he is missed! https://youtu.be/4NqkBQJQl1U https://youtu.be/y9SkS3yU704 https://youtu.be/hOABTxSN6dA |
