      About that final quote you stated (rawness and grit to the sound of sax players): I'd sure like to know, then, what he thinks of latter-day Don Byas and his changes of tone in the 60s? Still Lester-Young-ish? (Which indeed was wrong from the start) Or, for that matter, all those 40s/50s honkers, starting with Illinois Jacquet and continuing to (name your faves here)?  Agreed with Rabshakeh, all these statements are bad - and at least bizarre, to put it mildly. But he achieved one major goal that some scribes eem to be out for. Get talked about!! Maybe a goal they seem to be out for even more today than ever before?

      Miles cover story, Mojo magazine, 2026

      Now I've read it. Interesting narrative though too well known. But it's nice to have this new summary as a reminder. It covers all his history from his early bop days to his last efforts, although it says from Kind if Blue to Bitches Brew on the title. It's a nice reminder of his groundbreaking career. And this number of Mojo also reminds us of a reissue which "may be the jazz reissue of the year": Thelonious Monk, Bremen 1965, a radio broadcast. Though I'm unsure wether this is the same as what got reissued into a 2 CD package some time ago. This time its Sunnyside who's reissuing it. Last time, in 2020,  it was also Sunnyside. Though I now see it was a 1964 Radio Bremen release, together with a 1975 Radio Bremen recording. I've got it. And I just looked it up
