Who Wrote "Nardis"? Bill Evans or Miles Davis?

The title Nardis supposedly comes from a situation where BIll and Miles were in a club and someone asked them to play a tune with Bill replying something along the lines, "I don' play that shit, I'm an Artist ." So Miles supposedly wrote Nardis for BIll.

Marvin Stamm - Trumpet, Bill Mays - Piano, Rufus Reid - Bass, Ed Soph - Drums, John Abercrombie - Guitar

Evans himself says it was Miles that came with the composition. Check the Bill Evans Trio - Nardis [1970] video.

the audience or other musicians. playing "in the head" seems to be required.

jazz education, as it is today has not prolonged the life of jazz, but, rather has put it , in a coma, on a kind of life support system. the undead genre. jazz. it turns out players playing both way over the heads of, and not touching the hearts of the audience who say "it just sounds like" bop be yop a doo bah diddle dee da da da" at light speed. i don't get it". usually, even if i "get it" i can't feel it.

i have to agree with scubakidtrpt, even today, the most interesting and original sounding jazz musicians often come not from formalized jazz education programs, but usually some combination of formal classical training and private instruction from jazz musicians. for example, jacky terrasson. the jazz education programs turn out for the most part functional big band players who read well and play harmonically correct mechanical sounding patterns over the changes, but very seldom connect with
