I saw bits and pieces and it seemed focused on the negative. It opened with his silent period!

Dick's 100% right. That movie was garbage and couldn't be more disrespectful of Miles' musical achievements.

an interesting, albeit lackluster film about one minute (uh … mynute) aspect of miles davis’ life, his lockdown period in the 70s. this wasn’t supposed to be a ken burns documentary on the life of miles davis. odd take. eastwood got in hot water too, with his masterpiece on charlie parker. people complained it focused too much on parker’s drugs and demise. how can you tell a life story about charlie parker and not detail his tragedy?

Eastwood's movie was garbage. "Masterpiece" my a$$. The drugs were the LEAST interesting aspect of Parker's amazing life.

@@fosbury68 are you trying to get a rise out of me agent kujan? nobody with half a brain thinks bird was garbage (dark, maybe … depressing etc). i don’t even know what you mean when you say drugs were the least interesting aspect of parker’s life. half the anecdotes about parker were drug related. to leave them out or not make them a major focus of his life would be disingenuous. honestly, you sound like one of these histrionic jazz revisionists-don’ talk about parker’s drug use, don’t mention monk’s mental illness … if you want to have a serious discussion about the film, i will oblige you, otherwise let’s end this.

@@throckmorton3705 What IS primarily interesting and memorable about Bird's life was his astounding musical invention - he nearly single-handedly created post-swing musical language of bebop. And his musical virtuosity has NEVER been surpassed by any instrumental player (wind, brass, string, keyboard or percussion) to this day. Junkies in jazz are a dime a dozen, with far crazier, desperate and tragic stories. Musical geniuses like Charlie Parker are one in a billion.

@@fosbury68 ill play devils advocate-parker extended the late 30s swing jazz vocabulary to include chromaticism and emphasis on upper chord tones-the 9th, 11th and 13th using expression and articulation. ok great, he was a genius at that-but he never got furhter than the traditional 32 bar standard format. this idea that he was going to study music with edgard varése and other avant garde composers (bartok, schoenberg, stravinsky???) is a bunch of BS. he never did that, and he was never going to do that. he applied the exact same technique to EVERYTHING he played, from the early 40s to 55. once he established his style (albeit brilliant) he NEVER varied it or tried to develop it. i think you would agree that parker was not exactly an “out” player.

@@throckmorton3705 You'll probably clap your hands like a seal if the upcoming Michael Jackson movie portrays him as a predator despite being proven innocent. Because that's what sells in Hollywood nowadays when portraying blacks huh? Stereotypes of black people ESPECIALLY black men. Either portraying them as criminals, portraying them as abusers or even sexual predators.
