Brilliant Bill!  I was thinking Talk Talk's trumpeter was awfully similar to Miles and then started to realise it was NOT the end of their track!

Deffo 'smooth move' from Talk Talk's Rainbow.  

This is one of the amazing things that I LOVE about Radio Paradise.
The Rainbow had me stopped dead still to "feast my ears",   chasing it with Miles Davis just prolonged the pleasure !

It's raining, and I'm making chocolate chip cookies ... perfect.

Sorry Bentonian, but this genuinely moves me an fascinates me. And I am no expert.

I flunked Jazz in college. 

Cunning little segue from TalkTalk's The Rainbow...oops, just saw aspicer's comment.

Weird, the start of this song reminds me a bit of Stravinsky

Amazing transition from Talk Talk's "The Rainbow" - VERY NICE segue!!!

Best listened to on your back deck with martini in hand, the contemplation of the world your only concern.

But, since I can't do that right now, I'll take listening to Miles over headphones in the office as second best. 

Oh, somebody likes to sneer at the 'elite' and the 'hipsters' etc..from on high. How original.  Some people know jazz and this album's place in the pantheon, some just don't like the music and feel the need to bitch at people who do. "Pointless, endless" indeed.   bentonian wrote: 

Ya' gotta' love a radio station that will throw something off 'Sketches of Spain' in there with all the rest. The reason I listen to and appreciate radio paradise.

My intro to Miles was when I was 6 years old.  My dad put this on his Empire turntable, playing through AR2ax speakers in our family room in 1961 and then he took out his horn and played along with Miles.  I was hooked forever and still consider this one of the greatest albums ever recorded.  Still think of my dad, who died in 1990, every time I hear this.

Unlistenable. Pointless, endless, but the seat of much thoughtful head-nodding and (un)knowing looks exchanged between the clueless yet self-appointed cognoscenti.

Well, I'm pretty sure there'll be noise ordinances, but keep in mind that they apply to yappy dogs, loud parties, and fireworks, too. So - have fun with that.  I'll take Miles Davis over any of that other stuff any day!

You're right, there's no accounting for taste - or the lack of it.

Thank god you won't be living next door to me. Imagine having this over the garden fence every day - there ought to be some kind of injunction against it

Probably not considered a compliment, but the high flutes make me think of the earlier Star Wars soundtracks...


I know.... Stupid, but i can't help it!!

Look at them pupil??? Yikes
 

What is this, some kind of endurance contest? I think this is what they play on the loudspeakers at Guantanamo.

I soon will move into my new house... and I will be able to set up my record player... and bust out all the Miles D Vinyl...

Ohhhh I am looking forward to that!

I finally got this album. Heard the odd piece here and there (thanks youtube) but now it's mine. Can't wait for the postman, oops, sorry, postperson to arrive with my little parcel. This is a magnificent piece.

Thanks, Bill.

Oh this is good!  Very good in fact.

This one and Circle of the Round are my 2 fav Davis albums.

It's nice to hear this.

Yo.  I've heard more diverse MD on RP than from my own collection.  Funny how things work.

Sketches of Spain was recorded between November 1959 and March 1960...  love it...
