I know this whole band kicks ass, but I've gotta tell you, 'trane is like a freak here. What a brain, what a mind. How can you go there? He just 'thinks' his solo out through his mouth and hands at light speed.
Give me chills every time I hear him do that.
 
Nice to see someone else appreciates this stuff!  {#Cheers}

I can concur that he's godlike and all that... but the sound of a wandering saxophone makes me crawl out of my skin!  Can't stand it for more than 30 secs or so, no matter how hard I try.    Must mess with my brainwaves or something.

I seem to recall Mr. Davis telling a story about Bird: on their way to a gig in the limo, Bird was burnin' a fatty, shooting up, and getting, uh, serviced. While Miles was sitting there.

'Jazz' musicians are not generally known to be Boy Scouts...

I'm not a fan of labels myself. Dancing about Architecture, y'know.

Mr. Davis is sublime.

Don't be sorry. Not all of us get soar like eagles.

I "don't get" people who don't get jazz.
