Night mate. Take care and see you soon.

Brilliant show Darren, that has helped me to relax toninght after a day.

Goodnight Darren and my fellow listeners, I will see you all again tomorrow afternoon, take care everybody.

Amazing fact you never knew 2 :

Miles Davis’s only feature-film role was in Dingo in 1992 ; he played a jazz trumpeter, Billy Cross, who takes an aspiring musician under his wing after the two meet in Australia.

Amazing fact you never knew :

Miles Davis guested on the hot-cop show Miami Vice as a bordello owner. “Playing a pimp was easy,” he recalled, “because there’s a little of that in every man.”

Sure was. Only really appreciated way after it was released. All the musos can now remember it with affection!

Simply amazing.

Oh oh!

Great concept with the mixed time signatures a la Prog Rock - when Prog Rock was still finding its feet TBH. Family, Tull, Yes and Gentle Giant on their earliest albums in 1970.

off now Dazler thanks for the chilled soundtrack! will catch ya tomorrow , night all xx

And now...

Great mixing of this album - drums, bass and keyboards going on but the lead instrument, the trumpet, always to the fore. I just get drawn in by the magic sound and the genius compositions.

Agreed - what the cool Blues and Jazz does for me. Chilled out with a glass of French Red, some smokes, shoes kicked off and the lava lamp on - can't beat it!

This really is what being a DJ is about.

Bye Bye Blackbird is of course from Round About Midnight.

Albums released under his name while he was alive: 42 Albums released under his name since his death: 63 (and counting)

and an alternate cover to Miles Ahead

Or another quote from him " Jazz is an Uncle Tom word. They should stop using that word … just [call it] music, man.”

They say music can calm the savage beast, I have to say, tonight's show is just what the doctor ordered :)

Miles was once quoted as saying " I don’t keep any of my records. I can’t stand to hear them after I’ve made them.”

How cool is this guy!

Good evening Darren and my fellow listeners.
