Leeway Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yo Yo Ma! Kiri Te Kanawa! Sting! (someone's going to tell me he did play with Sting!) Yup, he played with Sting. Look it up. Sorry, sir! So he did. And I have the record! Proof positive it was eminently forgettable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't want more, would you? No way! Just wondered if I missed something else... I'd be happy about more than that one Miles solo with Prince, though!

JSngry Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 .. I'd be happy about more than that one Miles solo with Prince, though! There's a "private recording" of a New Year's eve gig tha Princes did, & Miles sits in...Prince kids him by saying "Aren't you up past your bedtime, Miles?" Miles brought nothing particularly profound to the ocasion, but Prince uses the entire evening to play a bunch of "party band" staples about as well as they've ever been played by damn near anybody. The tape is worth it for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good indeed - and I'd enjoy to hear some more of it, maybe even with better Miles... his solo fits in well into that party groove, but that's about it.

sidewinder Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 So Sting's the policeman on the MD album with the most ridiculous of all covers, then? That's all? I thought Miles was the policeman and Sting interjected a bit of 'cod French' into the intro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Miles was the policeman and Sting interjected a bit of 'cod French' into the intro? Sorry, but I really don't give a **** about that This would likely be about the first Miles album I'd trash... (Doo-Wop can go along with it... never got "Dingo" yet, maybe the one official MD release I don't have, except for a few Japanese ones) Edited January 23, 2012 by king ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 There are some good things on the album - I really like Katia and the two contemporary ballads. Could do without all the sound effects - but that's the price you pay for always trying to be contemporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Maybe Charles Lloyd if Forest Flower met In a Silent Way around the same time. If Lloyd brought his band we could have heard what Jarrett & DeJohnette would have sounded like with Miles...Oh, wait...

Rooster_Ties Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I would have liked to have heard Bennie Maupin on tenor with Miles, and particularly live. Maupin brings it on Chick Corea's "IS" sessions (with Miles' actual 2nd quintet rhythm section), and with much of the kind of energy that Shorter brought around the same time. I think Bennie would have been an interesting sub for Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Harold Land Yeah, but specifically 1) the "Medina/Spiral"-era of Harold (i.e. the Harold of 1968) -- with 2) the "Miles Smiles"-era of Miles (i.e. the Miles of 1966). That, or else specifically the "when he was with Carmell Jones"-era of Harold (early 60's) -- with the "Four & More, Live in '64"-era of Miles.
