Miles Davis is the subject of 'Great Lives' on Radio 4 next Tuesday(17 April, 4.30pm) with Richard Williams.
Presenter Matthew Parris will probably be a fly in the ointment.

Thanks JR - item duly ringed (rung?) in my copy of RT. I would have missed it. I see Adrian Utley, whom I knew before Portishead (the band) came into existence, is involved too. The programme is repeated the following Friday (the 20th) at 11 pm.

Richard Williams wrote the Miles book, "Man in a green shirt". He's very good. I was (coincidentally last night) watching his interview with Ornette Coleman from c.1969 on the Old Grey Whistle Test (there's a thing!) when Ornette was recording over here. (Skies of America). All those years ago....

RW also wrote The Blue Moment about Miles, great book, also the title of his likewise imho blog. Looking forward to this.
