I think your on the wrong track in trying to understand my words. I don't hear his demons and are then appaled by that. It doesn't go that deep. I simply don't like his tone. I was building up on RockC's remark that it was actually Trane who suggested Wayne and not Miles's choice alone as DrJ suggested. My idea was that maybe a lot of cool stuff is attributed to Miles and often Miles alone, whereas the actual picture is probably much more diverse. A sort of aggregation of action around the central hero. Like watching the Ken Burns documentary This has admittedly little to do with my initial post but much more with the responses in this thread. I don't think people here are uncritical hero-worshippers, far from it! It just occurred to me that there is a lot of stuff that's being attributed to Miles and I wonder whether it's all true, or rather a little spice to the story. It's an extension of the originator/facilitator discussion in this thread I suppose.

Building up on that and as long as I'm nibbling at the statue, how much of the Miles legend is truth and how much is simply ascribed to the hero? It seems to me Miles is often treated as a rock-icon with all the uncompromising worshipping that belongs to that. I have obviously never read any books on the man, but to those who have: do you get the idea that much of what is written or said is simply credited to him out of awe. I hope I'm making sense here. Nothing of this is meant to be a personal attack on anyone. I am just trying to find out why people seem to revere Miles whereas I am appalled by his playing so much that I cannot start to listen for all the rest in any depth.

that's the C way of saying postcount=postcount+1

If track 4 is Zorn, I don't have it in my collection. Go figure. I need to go into seclusion and do nothing all day but listen.

I stumbled on this quote of Miles: "That was my gift - having the ability to put certain guys together that would create a chemistry and then letting them go; letting them play what they knew, and above it." don't know where, don't know when, but it fits with the discussion here.

and another one!

I found it interesting and pleasant enough, but as I wrote, nothing wants me to run out and buy. I did the only sensible thing: I passed the disk on for someone else to be introduced to Caber. Spread the word. Spread the word.

somehow, I'm glad I'm younger than you guys...

Here's the answer, Couw. Sheeeese.... hey, I'm a bumblewit remember! don't hold my post count against me.

but bigger I bet

ouch!!! sorry mike, I was thinking about track 9. I will check where my counting went off and correct my post above. Sorry once again.

I don't know what it means precisely (I can guess of course), but the fact that google only gives us one hit is somehow telling

I dig the shit out of it everytime I hear it.

Jim just posted the answer on the European Blue Note board, you bumblewit! I don't post there nor view it. It all costs but valuable time. Valuable time which translates into post counts on a one to one basis.

that must be something then! please prove the point and trace ... erm.... Quartet Out ... to Pigmeat Markham... please.

I still don't get it, if ravi was her father, then why is she called jones?

Mike (or anyone else): Track 2. Somebody tell me more about that drum pattern that sets in around the 2:10 mark Then quoting mike's remark on # 8: "More film sound tracks ... Good use of the alto flute. But the rhythm section is a little too loose for my taste, not really together." I think the percussion and the blowing part were put together after the fact. Judging from what I know that is.

I am baffled that your kids (well your daughter) are somehow AHEAD of the internet by more than one day. I am young/old enough to think/believe that *anything* hits the net within 24 hours. Guess not. Somehow your daughter's negligence in this matter consoles me...

that's just how you want to interpret it I guess.

with a hose?

I don't think so. The donkey indeed WAS going on about waffles at one point, but not using this quote (I think).

my niece's melodica came with a hose too. I've always wondered why. Has anyone ever see anyone perform melodica with a hose? (stupid question I know...)

again!!!!???!!!
