Well we surpassed 1.5 million post. Here’s to 2 million. Give it another 5 years to that number?

Thanks. I missed the other thread.

Probably.

The information is in the link below.. Screenings will take place starting this week. https://www.milesdavismovie.com/screenings Miles Davis: Horn player, bandleader, innovator. Elegant, intellectual, vain. Callous, conflicted, controversial. Magnificent, mercurial. Genius. The very embodiment of cool. The man with a sound so beautiful it could break your heart. The central theme of Miles Davis's life was his restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms. It made him a star—it also made him incredibly difficult to live with, for the people who loved him most. Again and again, in music and in life, Miles broke with convention—and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Miles's bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music—from bebop to “cool jazz,” modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ‘n’ roll, and even hip-hop. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, studio outtakes, and rare photos, Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool tells the story of a truly singular talent and unpacks the man behind the horn.

No, it's not Don Byron.

Anyone seen this before? Not that I am interested in this, but this looks so home made.

A bit if chess humor.

George Cables & Essiet Essiet live from Mezzrow.

Is this one in her book? I don't know if she took it or not. Somehow I recall it was her photo.

LMAO.

The board will more than likely hit 1.5 millions posts in a matter of days. Less than 750 to 1.5 millions.

I love this photo of Charlie Rouse and Sonny Clark.

I wonder how long ago this was.

Yes it is Dr. Lonnie Smith and Ronnie Cuber on track 5. Track 6 isn’t John Patton.

Another one that never made it to the digital age. Shirley Scott Plays Horace Silver.

You're could be right. It could be just someone. Who's the woman with her back to the photographer? She's overlooked. The photo was posted on a Facebook group run by Loren Schoenberg. The question was, "Does anyone know who is the guy on the left is?" It could by a non musician.

the pic was taken by Robert Parent at the Music Inn, Lenox, MA on August 30, 1956. On the Face Book group more are saying Kenny Dorham,

I know it is Max, Miles and Sonny. Any guess as to who the guy on the left might be?

Happy Birthday. 94.

Thanks.

Has anyone seen this film, I haven't? Gerry Mulligan is in the film. Carmen McRae and Andre Previn and I think Art Farmer is too. Below are two clips from the movie.
