I’ve bought about ten of Miles' albums and 3 DVDs; the rest I've borrowed here and there, and I still have to listen to (I mean for the first time) around 15 albums, not counting those I've only heard once or twice distractedly. For instance, I remember 58'Miles, which I listened to once but don’t recall anything. Knowing Miles is a work; it requires commitment and consistency... not to mention that from Miles, you can then branch off into 90 other directions like Hancock, Coltrane, Holland, Corea, Jarrett... it would take two lifetimes, and in both lives, you’d need to win the lottery. But it's in these cases that the true man is recognized, one who must never ask for anything.

Ah, in Bag's Groove there are Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins, not cheeseburgers. And that was still an album made for contractual obligations; in fact, on the cover, the PRESTIGE label (and catalog number) is bigger than the title and the names of the artists.

That was Mr. Miglia's most prolific period: between 1956 and 1959 (inclusive) he released over twenty records, plus one under the name Davis & Coltrane. Then there are the various "Workin' With Miles Davis Quintet," "Relaxing With...," "Cooking With...," but damn, twenty records in four years is a huge amount of work even just to record them, not to mention to conceive them. Not to mention that in those years A Kind Of Blue was also released. Limited editions reissued some time ago, still from that period, Bag's Groove: an album that doesn't get mentioned much but is, in my opinion, one of the best in the entire vast discography, arguably among the top 5 with acoustic trumpet. (With electric trumpet, I like it even more.)

So let's just put on the covers and give everyone a 5. Santana doesn't quite fit with Autechre, but with the others, he does. They aren't the same, of course not, but the music produced falls within the same vein. You can't judge them, you can't compare them... since there's nothing we can do, let's change the website's layout and exchange Christmas recipes :)

The Isle of Wight concert is different, this is the film, they don’t play even one full song, just famous snippets. They all need to be watched, I did it and when I finished them (there should be 5 or 6 between Woodstock and various festivals) I felt like a better man.

Behind Moon, there’s always a line. He hasn’t tied his shoes in years, poor thing.

I recommend the "CHE!" between the end of "my mother mustn't know" and "I want to go to Alghero." It must be dry, ringing, powerful. It's from the "CHE!" that the true I Want to Go to Alghero by Juni Russo is recognized. Because Russo, yes, but not that Juni is not a gem.

And in doing so, you’ve clearly garnered so much success that you had to hand out numbers to line them up. The technique you used is almost (ALMOST) more foolproof than looking someone in the eyes, raising your eyebrows, and saying: “aòh, 'nnamo?". With that, it’s a guaranteed: one shot one kill.

"...The reptile pushes itself out into space,
Leaving behind, the human race...

Swim inside the solar seas,
The Nebula cries out to me,
Passing where I've gone before,
I fly through the crimson door Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye, Flap the wings under Mars red sky" ... Bom Bom bobooobooom bombombomboooooooommmm....

Moon, I'm sorry about the Tucano. Do like I do when I'm sad and the everyday life oppresses me: I bounce around the company in a leopard-print thong, a fuchsia boa with 25 cm long fur while singing << Mia madre non lo deve sapere, non lo deve sapere, non lo deve sapere, Mia madre non lo deve sapere, non lo deve sapeeeereee CHE! Iooo Vooogliooo andaaare ad algheeeeerooo... in compagnia di uno stranieroooo...>>. When your boss sees you, they'll definitely give you vacation time, 100% guaranteed, and you'll have the time to go to Kenya and take the Tucano with you. Because Juni Russo is useful. Never forget that, it will serve you in life. Juni yes, and Russo... too.
