Just watched the Netflix Miles Davis Birth of the Cool documentary. I'm not really a Miles Davis fan as but I will say I'm more of one today than yesterday. Great soundtrack.
|
Big Davis fan here, as a Jazz player. No so much as a Trumpet player. Armstrong, Marsalis, Edison and Eldridge are my favorites.
Maybe he played muted trumpet just a little too much.
Cheers

+1 on Jimmy Scott. What an incredible story of being rediscovered from abject poverty to performing again. HIs "I go back home" is a tribute album and film that to me shows how much he was appreciated by people in the industry and I dig it out when I want to be emotionally moved.
