Anyone have a chance to see the Mojo magazine with Miles Davis on the cover and a CD with Miles Davis recordings?

I bought it at Landlocked here in Bloomington a couple of weeks ago but have not dug into it yet.

I have it, but still haven't read it.

Now I've read it. Interesting narrative though too well known. But it's nice to have this new summary as a reminder. It covers all his history from his early bop days to his last efforts, although it says from Kind if Blue to Bitches Brew on the title. It's a nice reminder of his groundbreaking career. And this number of Mojo also reminds us of a reissue which "may be the jazz reissue of the year": Thelonious Monk, Bremen 1965, a radio broadcast. Though I'm unsure wether this is the same as what got reissued into a 2 CD package some time ago. This time its Sunnyside who's reissuing it. Last time, in 2020,  it was also Sunnyside. Though I now see it was a 1964 Radio Bremen release, together with a 1975 Radio Bremen recording. I've got it. And I just looked it up
