If you've figured it please enlighten me, I've just spent a very frustrating time there and finally given up. How do I find 'my playlist' or MP3 player?
As EJD said, it's the first half of the 1970 Miles Davis album "a tribute to Jack Johnson", dedicated to the famous black heavyweight champion boxer. Hence the "punching" feel of Miles' trumpet, he was a big boxing fan himself. A caveat- Darceysdad (I think) liked "Right off", but hated the second piece on the album "Yesternow" which is more introspective and has some echoplex feedback towards the end. However we like both pieces, they seem to complement one another well. Re podbean- when I posted this there were no playlists, instead you needed to "publish" an "episode" with the MP3 link, and then call up the embeddable player.
Thanks for that, I may well have to look for the CD.
I have some older Miles, Sketches of Spain, Kind of Blue, Porgy and Bess which I like a lot but the only electric Miles I own is So What which is a great album, I think.
My Miles collection is skewed towards the earlier stuff too: Brith of the Cool, Sketches of Snaip, Slimetones and, of course, the ubiquitous Kind of Lube…
Kind of Lube.. that's the one featuring John Drivetrain on tenor sax, Ballbearing Chambers on bass, and Oilcan Adderley on alto..
In a silent way is indeed brilliant.. you might want to give the earlier Filles de Kilimanjaro (nothing to do with Toto) a try too, in some ways it laid the ground work for silent way.
Just figured the new Podbean, but it is now really more geared to "presentations" than to posting music. Try Blimpy's suggestion, GF.
ReplyDeleteI like that a lot!
ReplyDeleteNever heard it before, what album is it from?

It's from A Tribute To Jack Johnson, you see, Miles was a big fan of the surfer troubadour...

It's weird, I seem the only one for whom podbean hasn't changed. I notice a slight redesign, but the playlists link is still there.

I have no idea why I wrote So What, because I meant In a slient way ............ dopey cow!
ReplyDeleteOr even In a silent way
