Playlist, Week of 2024-12-08

 


After the maelstrom of 1973 to 1975, I have to say it's a slog to listen to Miles Davis post-1980... not because of his playing, but mainly because of the cheesy, dated sounds of the keyboards, which give the music a smooth-jazz sheen that it doesn't deserve... just not doing it for me... I am also not crazy about the material or about his choice of cover tunes... I just can't warm to it, even though his playing is often as beautiful as ever... I will keep trying... In the meanwhile, I have also been enjoying revisiting some great Duke Ellington suites... Phil Lesh is the undisputed star of the December 1971 Boston "Other One"...
