Cole's book is odious nonsense.

Both enlightening and original... No.

😎 Now playing:

Listened to this set twice today, then I remembered this thread. When Stitt's on, as he is on these Hi-Hat recordings, he never stumbles, not for a second. Such fluency with—and utter command of—the bop lexicon.

Haven’t read Cole’s Miles but I did read his Coltrane bio. Bill Cole is also a very interesting musician! Saw his Untempered Ensemble a couple of times.
