                Depends if you're talking about the Lincolnshire Miles-Davises or the Northamptonshire Miles-Davises....
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        ... never 'eard of 'im. What did he do that is worthy of note?

                        .

                        [ 'Bliss was a modest man, with no inflated ideas about his importance. On receiving the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1963, he said, "I don't claim to have done more than light a small taper at the shrine of music. I do not upbraid Fate for not having given me greater gifts. Endeavour has been the joy".' ]

                          'A CD beautifully curated and presented by Les Arts Florissants' own label'

                          Curated and presented? What's the difference? Compare to showcase. What is it about museums? Aren't they supposed to be dusty (or musty) places, which we can well do without, like public libraries?
