it is crazy: i discoverd this while working overseas in northern japan and taking a trip on a rainy day, i got off at an unknown stop on the train and sought refuge from the rain, so ran into a just opening bar... like old liquor and dark and that universal smell of a drinking place, and the bar keep said he had never met an american before...BUT he wanted to play all the jazz records he had been collecting over the years (this is 1988) and I was like, 19 year old, and I was clueless.... til that day. On that day, in the rain, in that awesome bar in the middle of wherever i was, in nortthern japan, I sat and heard all this miles davis and john coltrane and charles mingus, i got a 30 year education on one rainy day in rainy hokkaido sometime in June..... o wow, bringing so many muscle memories back. i then came back to the states and have always associated american jazz with northern japan, and god how i love it!!!!!! even this many years later, as today is 2019!
Wow...to date there are 255 people that have given this song a thumbs down. Jazz is an acquired taste. But once you have a taste for it, nothing else compares.
My pop Chango, told me to take a listen to Miles Davis and i absolutely love this. It’s so soothing too the soul and it makes me relax and think calmly about things. I love jazz.
This is wonderful music and I heard it infinite number of times but today I find it anaemic and inexpressive therefore I am jumping ship and going straight away to listen to Freddie Keppard, Farewell and thanks for the fish!
Miles & the Gentlemen wrote a new language with this recording; a new language that is respected throughout this quadrant of the galaxy, and probably beyond.
