stuartk-

I think you described the overall vibe of the album. Music for the sake of music- in background while doing chores in the house.

Guitarists  for Miles in pecking order John McLaughlin, John Scofield with, Mike Stern/Robben Ford a toss up.

. .  all in all, a pretty amazing collection of players. 

@bdp24 and @stuartk  I enjoyed Chinaberry Sidewalks too.  I'm hoping for a second volume that goes into his moving to Nashville, meeting Guy and Susanna Clark, working with Emmylou, marrying Rosanne and his work from The Houston Kid on.  That's got to be a great story.

If you're going to talk Miles Davis' guitar players, then Pete Cosey goes after John McLaughlin.  He was the lead to Reggie Lucas on rhythm.

But he gave to Pat Martino the right beat impulse...

And time here redefine itself as some auto-adjoint operator in Hilbert space...Thanks to Alain Connes a God servant ....

Music for sure retained even before it was discovered by mankind some flavor from quantum mechanic in his heart...

I apologize to all but i could not resist this "metaphor"....
