    • I don´t see the point, Hank Mobley was one of my favourites and sure of a lot of fans and I think there is an increasing interest in his music. Music students get better and better and really dig what was stuff.  So I don´t really care if Hank Mobley smoked or not. I practically grew up in jazz joints with all that smoke in cellar clubs, I was underage when I started to go to them joints, and like all of us guys I started to smoke early.  Right now I couldn´t imagine to smoke in a club, that´s over, indifferent whether it´s allowed or not, it´s just out of fashion. If you want to smoke, you go out in front of the door during intermission or so, that´s everybody´s own business, but I am glad my clothes and my hair don´t smell smokey anymore. 
    • I remember I saw and heard her in Miles´ band from late 1985. Mike Stern had returned after Scofield left, and I must admit I liked Stern more in Miles´ band than Scofield, maybe for a lot of you that might be a sacrilege but Stern had more the power I enjoyed from Miles guitarists from 1973 on....(Reggie Lucas, Pete Cosey !). Yes, I remember Marilyn Manzur had a special solo spot and maybe also danced a bit.  But in general it was not the most memorable Miles Concert: I saw him in the same year in summer and somehow the band, or Miles himself had more power, and as I remember the November 85 concert was the only Miles Concert I ever saw that was not sold out !  Maybe there was a kind of unsureness of Miles where to go next musically, since the deal with Columbia ended and it was before the deal with Warner Brothers.   
    • RIP, I still remember when I first heard Oregon's album Distant Hills.
