mutepoint Nov 10, 2012 - 12:57	Cool. Very cool. And to think, I probably only became aware of this tune after hearing Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat's take. Very fine version. [ Reply ]

However, for all of music, much less jazz in particular, this view is problematic. Miles was never the guy who invented new styles or genres, he really was a genius at observing what was going on around him musically and than trying to bring that to a more main stream audience - as was the case with "Kind of Blue" which didn't invent modal jazz, but it brought it into the living rooms of the Frank Sinatra set. Also remember, without Bill Evans on Piano, there is no KOB. As far as musicians go, I think even Miles would admit that he stood on the shoulders of giants like Armstrong, Parker, and Gillespie. But perhaps your central point has more to do with Miles' vast and unique career as a one-of-a-kind collaborator. To that point he arguably stands alone among 20th century musicians - but than all music has an element of collaboration. Can you see why your statements are problematic? [ Reply ]

Jeff09 Jul 07, 2012 - 17:08	Some people have talked about Miles' "discordant" arrangements. Actually, I'm pretty sure that Gil Evans was the arranger on this and several other famous cuts. They collaborated on at least three albums. Miles did his improvisational thing within structures that were created (and directed) by Evans. And I agree with several others here...the arrangements are sublime. [ Reply ]

Not very much so, if you ask me. Edit: Well, yes, it does, etymologically, if you understand jazzy as a synonym of wild ; because a Big Band usually sounds rather smooth. Yeah, I can see what you mean. [ Reply ]

Why, then, when the rest of the band comes in, is it necessary that they play chords that are so bloody jarringly gratingly awfully murderously horrendously discordant ? Fun with adjectives, by my question is serious. Anybody know where this part of the tradition came from? OK, here's my take, for what it's worth: Miles' playing is pure and sublime, and when the big band chimes in, it is a loud and complicated sound. So the juxtaposition is jarring. I love it, but I can understand that it might not be to your taste. [ Reply ]
