Playlist 17.10.11

Jazz purists may not care for 'Time After Time' by Miles Davis. It's hardly 'Kind Of Blue' and certainly no 'Bitches Brew'. Remember this is a tune that was made famous by Cyndi Lauper, a graceless bawler with pink hair from Ozone Park. But Miles chooses not to reinvent the song. In his youth, he'd be picking at the seams, pulling out the entrails. This time he plays it straight. There's a minor skank in the beat and a deal of sentimentality. Miles isn't fixing to be around for much longer. He gives you a bit of sweet tone, some regret and the hint of a farewell between the notes.
