Finally got around to watching all of this--excellent documentary, did a great job of traveling a PBS-general-audience track without distorting the history. I thought the use of Carl Lumbly to read text from Miles' autobiography also worked quite well. Loved Greg Tate's description of Miles' early-1970s sound as "cosmic jungle music." The telling of the Birdland beating incident, a story with which I'm certainly familiar, was still upsetting. Overall I came away with a richer sense of Davis' humanity, always so evident in his playing, of course--but the film helped clear away some of the mystique. Stanley Nelson was a superlative choice to helm this project. (And yeah, agree with Late that I could have done with a little less of Frances talking about how great her legs were... but a small price to pay for such a vivid depiction of Miles.)
