I also tend to agree, and also think Miles was a god, but I did pick his trumpet up out of a work trance, so his style is unique (or patterned into my brain).

I think Miles was a god, but have to basically agree with you on this one.

What a great pairing...I can hear Miles and John Lee but not so much Taj Mahal.

Amazing! I did not know these three great ones had colaborated. Great boogie!

My thought exactly. I was listening to the end of it, and thinking "okay, it's got a John Lee beat, but the trumpet and jazzy sound? I must've missed Taj's input though. I wanna hear this again!

Only time I've been able to listen to a track with Miles Davis on it.

I'd never hoped to hear Hooker and Davis doing something together.

Incidentally - the stunningly superior soundtrack excerpt you heard is from the amazingly inferior film you should avoid (directed by Dennis Hopper, and starring Don Johnson).
Another wonderful soundtrack for Miles was Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (1957). Recorded in Paris. ...also - this is soundtrack material - it might be given that consideration before you comment on its "repetitive" nature.

Just watched that subtitles and all last night, funny they played this song this morning with these comments...

And let's not forget A Tribute to Jack Johnson , my favorite Miles / McLaughlin collaboration.
