    As well as the cool music (including Shostakovich), there are some decent descriptive turns of phrase.


    I like the mysterious Inspector too...

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      A short tutorial on the use of the term 'band' when talking about Miles is on offer for a small charge.
      I am now in a position to be able to report to forumistas that the tutorial for Caliban regarding the use of the term 'band' with respect to Miles - long-overdue one might add - took place in a hostelry in the north-west this afternoon. Caliban is now conversant with the term 'the two great quintets' and can, unaided, give approximate timings for the two ensembles. The rather fluid nature of Evans's [Bill] involvement was also touched upon. Caliban is more naturally inclined to the music of the era of the first quintet plus the Evans [Gil] collaborations. The riches of the second await, but I fear that anything post Bitches Brew may be a step too far. The beer was from Clitheroe and facilitated the discussion admirably.

          Nope. Bowland’s Pheasant Plucker

          .

          I am considerably enlightened regarding Miles; and moreover just had Lift to the Scaffold playing in the car driving through the fleshpots of north Cheshire following a birthday party.

            How appropriate to accompany a discussion of Miles.
