@@LH-zv2zq Miles Davis was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th Century regardless of the genre. He was never conferred the magnitude for that credit. A rarely known fact really obscure. The collaborations of the Jazz ensemble orchestrations of Miles Davis with Gil Evans starting from Miles Ahead Plus 19. And yes, Sketches of Spain too, were written and orchestrated by Miles Davis not Gil Evans. A Jazz writer and critic for Down Beat Magazine, Leonard Feather, in an interview with Miles Davis asked Miles Davis questions about those Jazz ensemble orchestrations with Gil Evans. Miles Davis told Leonard Feather , I wrote all that music and orchestrated too. I met a drummer who sat in some of those orchestrations. He told me. It's true. He said Gil Evans would pace the floor nervous. Until Miles Davis came in with the charts and assisted the musicians to play the orchestrations. They complained to Miles. We can't play this, never seen and played music like this. Miles told them you can't just read and play this music. You must feel it. The different musical instruments overtones had to overlap other instruments overtones. That can't be read. Listen very closely to the recordings, Miles Ahead plus 19. That's why Miles Davis walked off with all the recognition. Thereafter, Gil Evans remained an obscure figure in Jazz. Subsequent orchestrations by Gil Evans without Miles Davis never had those surreal intricate subtleties. Herbie Hancock wrote the tune Sorcerer as an tribute to Miles Davis. Herbie Hancock was astoundingly intrigued by Miles Davis. He pondered. Where is Miles Davis's music coming from. It is not from this world. Miles Davis was not only circumscribed to merely a trumpeter on the cutting edge of the Jazz scene. Miles Davis was a musical genius and one of the greatest musicians regardless of genres in the 20th Century.

Something I struggle with is thinking of bass soloists as guitar solos on heavier guage strings. I am a bigger fan of bass parts within jazz music. Saw Robert Hurst play with Diana Krall a few weeks ago. Mostly upright but some electric. He did a couple of short solos, but what mostly blew me away was just his lines during the songs. I've seen Swallow and Bailey and loved their "non-solo" playing. The fast solos just don't do it for me. Ralph Gauck is an amazing fretless player from Germany who's playing is so melodic. I love his playing. Fast bass soloing just reminds me of guitar shredders. Give me a David Gilmour solo over anything Yngwie does. You can flame me now 😀
