Miles Davis

Late last night and today I've been listening to Miles Davis, his wonderous double-CD Bitches Brew. It's been a very long time I really listened to it before - actually some decades!... Free Jazz with Rock rhythms and Modal harmonies. I liked it a lot years ago. Now I understand how Miles and his band did it. Basically it's quite simple - you have to be able to play your instrument really well. After the basics you have to be able just to let go, to improvise with NO restrictions within you or your personality... Simply put - you have to be able to let go and go with the Flow ( as some people say today...). Not so many people are able to do this - improvisers are a tiny little minority... Mighty Music created Miles Davis with his band during the final years of the 1960ies. Today this made me very happy and pleased.
