  6. `Motian noted, "We were supposed to make a record date with Miles [Davis]: the trio, Bill, myself and Scott. ... We were talking to Miles about it, it was all set up, and then Scott got killed and the whole thing got forgotten."`

  8. Stanley Nelson Jr. – „Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool“ (2019)

    Jazz ist für mich schon fast eine sakrale Kunstform. Das ist was für Genies, lange Nächte, zu viel Zigarettenrauch und immer auch Schmerz und elementare Emotionen. Kaum eine Figur wurde in der Geschichte des Jazz wohl so konsequent mythologisiert wie Miles Davis. Der Dokumentarfilm von Stanley Nelson Jr. versucht gar nicht erst, diesen Mythos zu zerstören. Interessanter ist, wie er ihn auseinandernimmt. Schicht für Schicht. Nicht ehrfürchtig, sondern analytisch. Und genau darin liegt der Wert dieses Films. (ARTE, Wh.)

  9. Le Moulin Rouge veut virer ses locataires et récupérer les appartements de Jacques Prévert et Boris Vian... J'ai eu la chance de visiter l'appart de Vian, habité par Nicole, qui préserve la mémoire de l'auteur et toutes ses affaires... Lors de la visite, elle nous a fait écouter un disque de Miles Davis enregistré par Vian... Rien que pour qu'on puisse encore venir écouter la trompette de Miles ici, il faut signer cette pétition ! c.org/9v2fkQV8gm

  10. Good morning for some #autumnleaves. Have a few copies of this, went with the original mono press which is in remarkable condition. Probably my cleanest OG #bluenote. So great. #cannonballadderly #milesdavis #hankjones #samjones #artblakey #vinyl #jazz #jazzrecords @vinylrecords

  11. The second Japanese white label promo of Somethin' Else, which came in a King Record sample record sleeve. This 1977 pressing also sounds superb.

    incredible radio broadcast from the japan tour that later yielded AGHARTA/PANGAEA. after opening up something like '#ambient jazz' with IN A SILENT WAY & dense freeform electrofusion groove w/BITCHES BREW and ON THE CORNER (+related dates), miles dove for ocean-floor #psychedelia, filling cavernous beat-space w/protometal textures (pete cosey!!) and knifepoint funk moves. hard #afrofuturist noise. pair w/live 72-73 #mwandishi.
