In Reply to: RE: Did you know that Miles Davis fancied himself a literary critic? posted by John Marks on May 11, 2015 at 11:07:47
I did not now that, and what a great story! He seems to have understood at least some aspect of Hesse's essence. I wonder what exactly he disliked?
I shall report your story to my main jazz man, my younger son. Even if apocryphal, it should be repeated everywhere!
Thanks,
Jeremy

I enjoyed it, but whether it is accurate or not I would leave that to others. One man's take, and maybe nothing more. still worth reading if a fan of Miles, KOB, and his work.
One should also read JMR's Phile article No 34. The Fifth Element in their archives. Worth printing out and saving.
