    Great video. gives viewers a clearer picture of what kind of person Miles Davis actually was at core. Saw both the Maynard Ferguson band with Larry Bunker, Joe Maini and others from the West Coast and the Miles Davis Quintet with Coltrane, etc. in Chicago in the late 50's at the Blue Note & Modern Jazz Room. Both clubs had Sunday Matinees where kids could attend.For $1.50 cover you got 2 1/2 hours music, 2 cokes & all the autographs you could garner. Wish I could go back & do it all over again.

    What is it about drugs that makes young enthusiasts of jazz musicians age faster than their mentors?

    When I first heard Maynard, it was on an LP with his sextet. I never knew he played high. It was just straight up jazz. That music really swung.
