MILES DAVIS !! he was just great he just kept changing jazz with every album release birth of the cool sketches of Spain a kind of blues bitches brew tutu u name it he was a genius... he just gets a group of musicians .. let them play whatever... he sneaks in with his trumpet ties up the loose end and everybody arrive at a new sound and destination they didn`t know they were searching for or knew even existed not the greatest trumpeter but definitely the smartest and best arranger/musician jazz ever knew dude was arrogant though ... who could call out a fellow competing trumpeter like `dude is fucking up the trumpet" but he delivered though he wasn`t all lips my dislikes... too much drug history... listen to this radio interview from a radio station to his home miles was just plain grouchy . disoriented .... guess they were fucking up his high ..lol listen to this radio interview.... http://youtu.be/qeiYh3J3vZ0 http://youtu.be/07uXWEqLxPY Edited by beserker, Aug 27 2012, 08:14 PM.

billie holiday... she could sing but what impressed me most was her timing was watching an old double vhs tape CBS jazz presentation in black and white, it was like a final introduction of jazz to the mainstream watched her sing .. u perceive this .. with her sitting down swing her head listening and singing like on que i don`t know if iam right but but i could feel that timing about when and tone made her great ,,,, not the voice really found a u tube of said cbs concert .... watch her http://youtu.be/Jf0ldEBBJhY my favorite billie holliday track is `billie blues" incidentally same track she was also singing .... i will post the lyrics below song embodied women lib+ pragmatism Lord I love my man tell the world I do I love my man tell the world I do But when he mistreats me Makes me feel so blue My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Squawked about my supper and put me outdoors Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes I didn't have so many But I had a long, long way to go (bridge) Some men like me 'cause I'm happy Some 'cause I'm snappy Some call me honey Others think I got money Some tell me baby you're built for speed Now if you put that all together Makes me everything a good man needs Edited by beserker, Aug 27 2012, 06:38 PM.
