chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Duke Ellington was the 1st jazz musican to go on US currency. the DC quarter! but if NYC is going to name a street after a jazz muscian, it should be Charlie Parker. Charlie Parkers life is more 'new york' than miles's story. Bird deserves this more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Does Miles Davis Way change direction every few yards whilst still moving relentlessly forwards (apart from the last few yards when it casts a glance backwards)?

erwbol Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) No, but the traffic signs do turn their back on oncoming automobiles. Edited December 24, 2013 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Parkers life is more 'new york' than miles's story. Bird deserves this more Parker does have a street or at least a few blocks on Avenue B around 7th street named for him... or at least it was for a while and there is a plaque on the wall outside of the last apartment he lived in.
