Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Even as a musician, I just approach music as a listener.  Stuff's either sounding good or it's not.  I either like it or I don't.  Not saying I don't like being challenged or can't appreciate music that stretches boundaries, but it always just boils down to an emotional reaction, regardless of what the musicians were intending or attempting to achieve.  Therefore, quite a bit of Miles' later work leaves me a bit cold.  Not necessarily as a result of the man himself, but just what everyone is doing.  Stylistically, a lot of if is kind of lost on me.

Joey, can you give me a brief rundown what he's doing in later work in terms of theory I honestly don't listen to much jazz passed the mid late sixties, maybe a bit of 70s jazz fusion but not a great deal else, what was he doing after the modal excursions, I suppose it would remain modal to some degree? Or does he revisit diatonic?

Yes, he led music as pointman, as fashionista he was a stylistic dead-end after about 1967, if not '65.

Can we all just agree that jazz funk sucks?

I have to side with Ollie, unless you accept the challenge of turnin me on.
