Happy birthday Miles (Miles Dewey Davis 26/5/1926 – September 28, 1991).
With “Miles Runs the Weekend Down” One Jazz Radio celebrated Miles’s centenery with 48 hours of Miles related output over the Bank Holiday, and this is my humble contribution. Near Enough For Miles includes tunes featuring the man himself; important collaborators and influences; songs Miles played live written by other people and covers of Miles compositions.
And the great news is that all the weekend’s delights are available for your listening pleasure at onejazz.net.
