Hey,
I'm with you on that!!When one of the posters spoke of later Columbia Miles inferior to Terry, Morgan and associates, I can't disagree more. To me, Miles got better when he signed with Columbia-here's my proof. Take some version of his Prestige work, and find the sheet music for it. It's pretty much straight-forward music. Now, take Miles when he was in the second quintet '1964-1968', and take a piece there and analyze. Being avid in jazz, Morgan could never set so many seperate melodies to one piece-and I'll let you even have a album with Herbie Hancock on a ballad (the name escapes me). Or, want 'The Sidewinder'??
I understand you have a diffence of opinion, and I respect that. I am only here to offer what makes Miles so great...his improv mind. While I give credit to George Russell for modal jazz, Miles really stretched it.....and will be remembered for it.
Hey, should I goto Classic Records and ask them to re-issue some albums from Miles' Columbia years? My favs so far are KOB, Round Midnight (the original mono album is so clean....), and Seven Steps to Heaven (Victor Feldman should have gotten more popular....he is so close to Herbies style it's unreal!).
What cha think..
