ON THE SUBJECT OF THE ICONIC MILES DAVIS,

I COULD TALK ABOUT MY GEMINI BROTHER ALL DAY

BUT WILL KEEP IT SHORT, BUT SIGNIFICANT.

MILES IS MY TOP MUSICAL INSPIRATION AND 

MOST PROFOUNDLY HIS FUSION PERIOD AND

SPECIFICALLY HIS BITCHES BREW MASTERPIECE

AND ONCE AGAIN THERE IS AN ICONIC WOMAN

BEHIND THE MAN, THAT BEING BETTY DAVIS

WHO ADDED SWAGGA TO MILES THROUGH

FASHION, ART AND ALL AROUND ATTITUDE,

SHE PROPELLED MILES TO YEARN FOR THE ROCK AND ROLL

FAME THE BEATLES AND JIMI HENDRIX WAS ENJOYING.

JAZZ FUSION, THE ADDING OF ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS

NEVER BEFORE USED IN JAZZ, SPARKED CONTROVERSY

AMONGST JAZZ CRITICS, MAKE NO MISTAKE, I LOVE 

EVERY PERIOD OF THE MUSIC OF MILES DAVIS

BUT JAZZ FUSION TAKES MY IMAGINATION OUT ON A LIMB

AND I LOVE THAT MIND BLOWING CREATIVE EXPERIENCE.

TO MENTION, THE MOST FAMOUS ALBUM OF MILES DAVIS

WAS KIND OF BLUE, INSPIRED BY THE BLUE PERIOD OF

PABLO PICASSO, JOHN COLTRANE RESPONDED WITH 

BLUE TRANE, ALSO INSPIRED BY THE BLUE PEIOD OF PICASSO,

ALSO HIS TOP SELLING ALBUM. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY.

AS MOST KNOW, MILES IS ALSO A VISIONARY FINE ARTIST

AND YET ANOTHER CONNECTION, THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!
