Miles Davis

bottle black
like Miles
sketching Spain
somewhere
back in the files
I dwell some

Kind of Blue
came on true
listless days
JazzFM plays
London fun
England 1991

I bought Tutu
'86 when he blew
sounds of the street
tapping them feet
not quite the same
'60 was top of his game

I was listening to some good 80's music yesterday on my way to and back from Janesville, Wisconsin. The beginning of Glenn Fry's You Belong To The City has a neat Jazz feel at the beginning of the song.dancing

Nice reflection that pays homage to a great trumpeter from a special era, Ocean.

I'm glad someone understood the reference (kind of)...no of course it's "not my sound"; but then again, I don't go around claiming to be a jazz trumpeter, now, do I?
