Miles Davis--Disc 2 of The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions {4 cd set in all}. The last piece on this disc, "Corrado" really lets Miles and his boys--including Mclaughlin--really lay out and kick some ass! What a great achievement this album represents; a beautiful fusion of jazz and rock years before Weather Report was forged. Magnifique! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tHHqTrObEM

I got a book through the post from my brother in New Jersey, The Big Bands By George Simon. I dug out some recordings relative to the respective bands, thus I listened to Artie Shaw 'Stardust' and 'Concerto For Clarinet', Woody Hermans Herds 'Northwest Passage' and 'Four Brothers' and 'Lemon Drop', Stan Kenton 'Young Blood', 'Round Robin', and 'Portrait Of A Count' featuring Conti Candoli. Plus tracks by the bands of Claude Thornhill, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Les Brown. Wrapped it up with some Kai Winding tracks with George Wallington, Brew Moore, and Gerry Mulligan, then a dip into the various John Graas Project Cd's.

Miles Davis--Disc # 2 from The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions. {yesterdayit wasdisc # 3, but I hadmistakenlyposted it as the second one}. In either event, this whole cd is one great masterpiece, IMHO. It draws circles around what is so often fobbed off today as "smooth jazz", which to my ears is not much more than glorified "elevator muzak", at least in large measure, again IMHO.
