Miles Davis
that cries
sweet as angel’s tears
that seeks
the truth of a hidden heart
that haunts
the bruised soul of loss
that frets
the truths of life
that kisses
tender as a lover’s dream
that burns
with passion’s fire

Hi! I’m Edgrrr, rob’s shih tzu.
Miles knew how to touch hearts…
Love his work Björn. His “Kind of Blue” album spins ‘round my turntable 2-3 times every week. I love it.
All of this, and more.
Mikes is my man Ken. Such a soulful master of his horn!
Blues – to the max.
Miles is a master Sherry!
Sigh, Miles knew how to play it.
Man, he sure as hell did Susie, anf he knew when not to play it, which was part of his unique brilliance!
He was a true virtuoso. Great tribute to a master.
Thank you Rommy. He was the quiet genius.
This is such a lovely tribute! 🙂
Thank you Sanaa! 🙂
You’ve captured Miles’ jazz in velvet blue and passionate fire, Rob!
Thank you Kim! Miles’ horn paints in so many colors!
I love the blur of blue and red arriving at Miles’ purple passion!
Bravo
Thank you Ella! You are very aware when you read… 🙂
This is an excellent tribute to an amazing musician. He’s one of my favorites, along with Charlie Parker and Dave Brubeck. Well done Rob!
Thank you Linda! A couple more keyboardist I might toss on that list would be Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson. And a young horn man I think continues to grow is Chris Botti. He has a tendency toward commercialism, but he has the chops, and can really stretch out and play. A group I absolutely loved, especially when Jaco Pastorius was still alive — Weather Report. Pat Metheny is a fascinating guitarist, and Stanley Clark on bass. And Chick Corea on keys, Al Di Meola on guitar. Herbie Hancock, Sun Ra, Joe Sample for a few more keyboardists. John Coltrane, David Sanborn, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter all fine sax players. OK, I have officially gotten carried away…
Well … thank you for introducing me to him! Gonna add him to my listening tunes.
You are welcome Margaret, glad you enjoy Miles! 🙂
