"Third Plane", I haven't given it a good listen, but in general I like it.I noticed it was recorded in 1977, that could explain why I like it in general without giving it a good listen. There seems to be some kind of "cut off" date where in gene...

On youtube there is a video where Miles Davis is being interviewed by Bryant Gumbel and he talks about how he doesn't like the word jazz for his music and even discusses that he believes there is no more jazz anymore it's just social music at this...

Here is something I posted a long time ago. I saw Dave Brubeck not long before he left us.Near the end of his career, I was fortunate enough to see Dave at a free outdoor concert; it was blessed by a most beautiful, golden Fall day at the Shrine ...
