The soul of music its beyond comprehension, anyone can play the notes perfectly but only a few can give the notes a life of its own.

Yeah man Jimmy Cobb said that Miles was so upset when Coltrane left that he actually spoke to his audience at Coltranes last gig, something he rarely, if ever did before.

thanks for the info man i just started flirting with jazz a little so i made a comment of his behaviour on stage because it seemed a little too strange to me , but now i know what a little weird but genious man miles was. if he still were alive i bet he would now be playing on some techno party with derrick may jeff mills carl cox and other great dj's!! greetings

No worries. Jazz is full of very sophisticated geniuses who were often very individualistic and independent. It's not surprising considering the music itself. That's why it's so purely American, more American in fact, than most average, every day Americans.

Miles was the epitome of cool, aloof, swagger. Coltrane approached his music like it was his religion, which it was. Duke Ellington was the consummate debonair, effortless leader. He and Sinatra really epitomized the Jazz lifestyle.

Then you have the real eclectic geniuses like Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus.

I recommend finding a copy of the PBS documentary on Jazz. Your local library usually has a copy. It is superb. You see how and why Jazz is so purely American and why almost every genre of music since the 50s comes from Jazz in some form or another, from Metal to House.

All the best.

i most certainly will find it and give it a view!! its really strange but i never even listened to jazz and somehow i ended up on a great concert of crazy japanese group called soil & pimp sessions they play something that they call death jazz and i was stunned by them, their incredible energy i don't know but i fell in love with their music and started to digg around jazz and its incredible how many directions it has and i am going to listen everything!!!! thanks!

Yeah, the Japanese can get a little crazy but they always give their own interpretation, which is more than most countries can say.

If you're American, you'll discover what your grand-parents and great-grandparents used to listen to, dance to and live their lives to. It's culture and a helluva lot deeper than pop music.
