beautiful (smoke-induced?) smile...

Miles was very image-conscious from the beginning, and he did not like to be photographed smiling. He didn't like the "happy-go-lucky" image portrayed by Louis Armstrong and others, which he felt catered to the safe post-minstrel image of blacks that white society felt comfortable with ("Song of the South" anyone?). Of course when one is almost never seen smiling, it's such a pleasant change to see them when they are. That's what's great about this photo; Miles actually let his guard down for a second and showed his warmer side.

Taxi Driver-ish.
Me likey. In the berries and bananas category of comparison, this has way more soul but just a fraction of Arcade Fire's noise.

I always feel there is something magical- or even a little disturbing about this piece of music. Like its from another dimension.

It all depends on how its cooked and presented ...spinach comes in all shapes and forms as in 'Esccofiers Culinary Bible.' :-)

I like the work Miles did. If you don't, there's a PSD button and a whole world of other stations to listen to.

In his later years, Miles should his back side to the audience.

Ummmm such negative comments I'm reading here... Can I just draw your attention to a significant observation and I'm sure I will be backed up on this and that is that 99% of Classical musicians worldwide choose Modern Jazz as their second Genre of music and to take a break from playing classical they play jazz for fun as its so interlocked with the great composers.. But that could well be a highbrow statement.

I think this may be one of the best photos of Miles I ever saw (taken by Tom Palumbo )

This is exactly why every other radio station I listen to pales in comparison to Radio Paradise. You will just pop in some Nature Boy. LOVE.
