that would the name of this tune... from the inarguably (yeah, right) best jazz album ever. and group.... Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans...
Kind of Blue was THE album for a long time; from its creation in 59 at least until 70 when he did Bitches Brew... Miles was a sad figure as often happens in jazz... he grew backwards for the most part.. but those early years... oh my! I am old enough to have experienced the shift in late late night radio from Cool Jazz to underground rock like the Mothers of Invention and anything with political, social or drug-related references... from "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me" - a novel about Cornell in the jazz era by Richard Farina (who played a few times at the coffee house i was running), to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson... with perhaps something by Vonnegut or Michael Moore filling in between...
not exactly a blog i know... just thoughts stirred up this late Sunday evening as i sink down into Miles again...
