Get back to your nap, old man. I'm going to listen to Led Zeppelin.

Leave my music alone, son.  Go with Sad Navigator and listen to some contemporary crap.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.Can you come up with something better?

"Dads are bad. Jazz is bad. I don't understand dads. I don't understand jazz. And therefore I can lump them together and hereby toss my youthful cleverosity all over the interwebs.

Fuck dads. Fuck jazz. My generation got it right."

Weak. Try taking the stairs once in a while.

Like all music from the golden age it defies time constraints.  It's timeless music like Miles Davis' output.  No need to label everything.  There is only good and bad music.

Jean Pierre and Mike Stern´s solo, starting at 3.50 something, was mentioned by 3shiftgtr. Interesting solo: Stern somewhat destroy the grove made by drums and bass, and I can understand why. Funk fusion often becomes stiff and static and almost impossible to get out of, but an anarchistic solo makes it looser.

That was great. I´m enjoying this album a lot.

Disliking Miles is like disliking music. What era? What genre? be specific because Miles reinvented his music so many times it's hard to imagine anyone not liking all of it.

Kids are stupid.

Miles Davis is a bit like the Beatles. He has been lionized to such a degree that many of his fans find it impossible that anyone could fail to be inspired by him. Miles-Davis worship is as predictably tedious as the endless splash of brushes and plinking pianos that serve as the backdrop for so many of his classic riffs.

My years of trying to like "Kind of Blue" and his other greatest hits albums are behind me. I'll stick to my own tastes without apology. If it helps explain my opinion easier, I don't like much jazz in general, although Marsallis' "Hot House Flowers" is a favorite.

No respect then?U must be mad then.

U mad cuz he has been "lioniized"? U mad cuz you don't like "the endless splash of brushes and plinking pianos...."  U mad cuz the endless stream of musical (not cultural) innovation are so broad that they have  college level courses to study it? U mad cuz its innovation you "don't get" ?

Yeah. YOu tried to like it. AND FAILED. No apology needed.  It's over your head. Again, take the stairs once in a while.  It's good for ya.

yet another case of "I've listened to Kind of Blue and a greatest hits album and I know jack about Miles Davis"

can we put an end to this kind of ignorance in our lifetime?

This response is a classic case of "you haven't heard ALL of it, therefore you can't judge ANY of it."

In my case, I've heard quite a lot of Miles Davis -- at least enough to know that it all would sound much better if some jackass didn't keep playing a damn trumpet over everything.

The dude should have played electric guitar. Jus' sayin.

I'm jazz-dad and proud.

Marcus Miller and Al Foster intrigue me the most about this band.
