Starting Miles 2nd quintet with Miles Smiles.

I saw Rich played Files de Kilimanjaro, I'm working up to that. But not tonight.

I played Filles because I saw that you bought it. :D

Miles Smiles and Four and More are my fav of his 2nd quintet sides. ESP's good too. And Plugged Nickel. :)

Four and More / My Funny Valentine albums were from same concert, the first recordings of the new band. Tony Williams was recruited from Jackie McLean only days before. 'Four and More' marked the end of the post bop era, a very important record, imo.

It always amazes me the way those guys could just sit down and just wing it with little or no formal rehearsal.  :-k

I was reading an interview with Herbie Hancock he said when this 2nd quintet was first formed, the young guys immediately began jamming by throwing out new chords and riffs while Miles listened. But he couldn't keep up and looked concerned.

The 2nd day he matched them as they jammed, following along each new avenue the new guys went down.

And the 3rd day, he led them down the new avenues, and the 'young bucks' now had to struggle to keep up.

That's talent, wish I had some.

And now, sitting in dealership service waiting area - ESP.

Sitting in the queue to by tickets for this year's Boston Pops Holiday show.  The BSO took over their own online ticketing, but the system they built does not have anywhere near the capacity they need to handle first day ticket sales, so you just end up sitting in front of the computer watching the number of people in front of you on line click down.

While I'm waiting I thought I would listen to some Boston Pops and since it is still a bit too early in the year for Christmas music I pulled out one of the old standards:

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Fiedler/Boston Pops

   RCA Living Stereo SACD Hybrid

Sorcerer - Miles Davis Quintet

Still sitting in service area, this is going to cost me. But car just clicked 100k miles, so things need to get addressed.
