That is, until I heard Miles Davis. Just couldn't fail to hear the genius in his music. This is nice. Very nice. Ditto for me. First time I heard Miles' version of "Summertime" my ears finally heard something to love in jazz. I didn't know if I liked jazz but I knew I liked that. And my interest in jazz branched out from there. Not a bad starting point. [ Reply ]

Ah well, off for another track whilst the hepcats click their fingers and nod their heads at yer man Hancock's jazz genius. Jazz improvisation is more like fractaling than "noodling". Noodles are just a mushy pile of repeated forms, while jazz takes a basic musical idea and expands it with related patterns into a complex system of sound that develops over time.

ziakut Jul 11, 2011 - 13:45	It's nice to hear this instead of 'Canteloupe Island'...for a change. Not that "CI" isn't good, but I'm wearing thin of that one since it gets lots of playtime here. [ Reply ]

Still, this is a great song for a long, lazy summer afternoon when you don't have anything else to do but kick back and enjoy the music... Hope you're enjoying your iTunes break. (Um, curious - what were you listening to that was better than Herbie Hancock?) [ Reply ]
