Re: Miles Ahead

I asked him where he got the album cover just to see if he would send me the link to the site Bopster linked in his OP and he just deleted my comments. So I asked again and he deleted again. He did it about 5 times. I guess he doesn't  even acknowledge sources he's seen on here. We are that low? Fuck it. The man has gone sideways, mad with power. I look forward to the day he fucks off in his golf cart to wherever the fuck it is he wants to be and leaves us all to it.

Great thread and great find Bop mate. Excellent work from you overall in fact over, at least, the last month. You've been turning up some great things. Thanks.

Maybe you should keep some of this good stuff back for a blog of your own.... maybe?

Re: Miles Ahead

Such a nice shot isn't it, the photo really pics out the texture of the shirt fabric. 

I think the forum and the facebook page is good because anyone can post, we can all share, there is no attempt of furthering ourselves commercially. As soon as you try to get something from your interests and hobbies beyond fun and entertainment, they loose all their point and meaning. I do this because I'm too old to skate, and I'm too young to resign myself to the television set.

Re: Miles Ahead

I particularly like the European Tour 56 cover. It really gets across what a serious young man he appeared to be.

He was hugely photogenic, wasn't he? Not conventionally handsome I wouldn't say but he still had stop you in your tracks looks. It was a face for the look, I think. A very intense young man.

Re: Miles Ahead

The comparisons to Chens and Omega Heston are too many to note. Brilliant observation. I was always on the side of the ghouls in that film. Heston was just such a dick.

Anyway, there is no chance he's damning me. He doesn't regard any of us over here as worth contemplation let alone damning. The man is just a fucking vacuum. Enough of him in such a great thread.

I prefer Coltrane somehow too. I have no idea why. I'm not that messy but I'm not a neat person either. I always admire Miles' sharpness though and his focus and quiet intensity. I lack focus at the best of times so I guess i wish I could be more like him in that sense. The quiet intensity is something people have often said I have but I think they have just seen me sitting in a corner trying to remember where I left my car keys. An easy mistake to make. Actually, where did I put my car keys....

Re: Miles Ahead

Wasn't my observation, don't let me fall into that trap! I forget who it was now! I must credit my sources!

Re: Miles Ahead

I had no idea about that, George. I love that scene too.

Funnily enough I met my fiance one New Years eve and I had been in one room at a pub and she was in the other live music room. After the bells when everyone was getting really drunk I had 2 drinks spilled down my jacket one after the other and it really pissed me off. So I went into the other room to get away from it and just sat at the back of the place, watching the band, seething over my ruined jacket and she came up to me and asked if I always did the mean and moody thing or if it was just something I was trying out. Floored me with one comment. cut straight through me, so it did. Brilliant.

Re: Miles Ahead

Just been reading about Don Cheadle‘s directorial debut with a Miles Davis biopic. It's called Miles Ahead and he'll also be playing Miles too.

I rate him as an actor, although he's Cockney accent in Oceans 11 was abysmal and probably worse than Dick Van Dyke's way back when.

Classic Liam, I still think the Omega Man comparison is some of our best comedic work

Re: Miles Ahead

Glad someone revived this thread. Great resource to have in this era of digital music. Wish it were a little easier to read the liner notes but (cliche about begging and choosing).

Found it odd, however, that the proprietor claims to have little to no interest in Miles post-1980. I can understand that from a general point of view but someone who has put this amount of work into an artist shouldn't limit himself like that. I've recently grown to enjoy Miles' late work but even before I enjoyed it, I at least respected it for its evolutionary and artistic merit.

Re: Miles Ahead

I stop at Jack Johnson me! However, I think you're right - I'm just lazy and set in my ways.

Obviously though, music aside, Tutu is the sartorial highpoint - I think it's the way he mixes half-baldness and gold lame'.
