I was just rereading that passage from the thesis about Patton, how he was offended by Blue Note putting white women on his album covers, apparently becoming increasingly bitter about this in later years... Apparently, he was still ok with this at the time of Got a good thing goin' (which is also the much better cover) but That certain feeling came out after his conversion to islam and he felt having a white woman on the cover was at odds with that... So when the time comes for a Tonepoet of That Certain Feeling, they might redo that cover as well, since they're redoing so many covers anyway... That said: that certain feeling is my favorite Patton album... NP: Jakob Bro - Montclair Sessions (with Wadada Leo Smith among others) -

Meaning to make my way back to Mingus. Meanwhile, Inspired that this title is appearing in the 2026 Tone Poets series, I am spinning this: -
It's been 30 years when I read the Nisenson book from the public library but I distinctly remember thinking back then that this was a particularly weak biography... My only comparison regarding Miles biographies is the Szwed which I think is very good, similar to his Ra book in this regard...

Since various Miles biographies are mentioned here, a question to those in the know: How would you rate the "Round About Midnight" bio by Eric Nisenson rate by compasrison? I had seen its German edition at Zweitausendeins back in the day but did not feel compelled to go for it. But it now was part of that haul of jazz books I made about 6 weeks ago (and freebies are not to be sneered at anyway ). Thanks in advance for any enlightened opinions you mave.
