Happy Birthday Miles


Yup Miles Davis would be 80 years young today. This guy was to jazz as what The Beatles were to Rocknroll. Always ahead of the pack always setting the direction that jazz moved toward there was only one Miles. What is your favorite period or his favorite recording?

Now that I think about it, I listen to more Miles than any other performer, and the reason is that his playing never gets old, just better. My favorite recording, of course, is KOB because it was the first jazz recording I ever heard as a little kid and, well, it is fine music. Fans might also check out the solos he did w/Branford Marsalis (for Shirley Horn) shortly before he died -- really poignant playing.
