In Praise of Miles Davis...

[Rhythm Thief]

In 1967 Circle in the Round was recorded, just a few months after Coltrane died; the end of an era and maybe this was the catalyst for MD. On this track an electric guitar lurks deep in the mix; sparse, minimal, restrained and with the lightest of touches, although only just there, it adds enormously.

Perhaps that's part of my problem with it. If you're going to paly an electric guitar, crank the amp up until your neighbours' windows rattle and your cat is gently vibrated off the top of the wardrobe.

Depends ... Temperance Seven, yes; Glen Miller ... nooooo.

I'll stick with this, thanks. Or this... or this...

I think I read that Kind of Blue still sells 5000 copies a week!

Solea is my favourite. It has the coolest note in jazz. It's so cool it feels like you've got no underpants on. In fact it's so cool that you'd be well advised to put a second pair on, just to keep from chills.

Well done for 'keeping it real' RT!

Oui!

Mais bien sûr. I'm jealous. I think I might have a new one for a while [scuttles off to search for something].
