**** When I mentioned Canonball Aderly recording " Something Else" being a Miles recording, I was hopeful that the OP would pop up, because that was something he would not have let stand if he was around .
Also, it's an awesome recording. ****
We are on the same page, @acman3 .
When I saw your previous post about this (awesome indeed) recording, I suspected that it was a veiled reference to the “bru ha ha” (the OP’s often used phrase) that ensued when I suggested that it was a Miles led session, in spite of the fact that Cannonball is credited as the leader. Our OP did not let it stand. My reasoning was that Cannonball was a new member of Miles’ band and one can hear Miles, not Cannon, speaking to and directing the proceedings. Not to mention, the prominent playing role that Miles has on the record. Contracts can be a funny thing.
Anyway, I came back to post and to mention all this as an acknowledgment of the debt owed by all for the OP starting this thread and saw your last post. A lot of disagreement and more than a little drama over the years, but no denying that the OP loves/d this music and was very passionate about it. Best to him wherever he is.
