Can’t go wrong with Miles…
Posted 1 month ago by mmulhern    [ Reply ]
Definitely would like to see more classic (but "accessible" for the less inclined) jazz like this on RP. 

[Could pick at least 10 Miles, Evans, and/or Adderly tracks to add immediately]

On an aside oh how I loved going to the Towers Records near George Washington University and simply hanging out in their second floor jazz section for hours just grooving to alllll those beautiful sounds they'd play. What a treat and what an education reading the album jackets. Those were the days.


I miss Tower in Boston, along with local chain Strawberries, where I would read album jackets, just grooving. Fun times.

If not a whole Jazz station, how about 5th mix - Jazz!  And bump up the blues component too...

who is on alto sax?



That would be Cannonball Adderley. Who is the brother of the song's composer, Nat Adderley.

Vinyl. Sonny Rollins, Miles, John Coltrane, Bird and many others. 
Maybe 'cos I've been watching' Bosch or just a sign of my age. 
Anyways, for me jazz is more than music, it's a feeling, a groove into which I slip and slide - emotional music at it's very finest.
I just had a thought!
RP could be just one notch better than it's usual brilliant best.
A jazz station? 
Whatcha think, Bill and Rebecca? A Radio Paradise jazz station?
Wow. The best would get a little better!

Yes. I never really appreciated the skill and the amazing talent until my partner introduced me to it. Rock, blues, folk and Jazz now in equal measure.

I did to, especially MD.  Years of RP, with a slow gentle exposure to the best of Jazz, have turned me around.    Today, this is a 9.

 Funky D who was considered  The Godfather of the music scene in Tampa ,St Pete,  just passed after an extended battle with cancer. He was being held by his daughter and ex-wife. Miles was playing, D was waiting for the right song to exit. Rip brother.

So I love Miles and this track, but it gets a lot of play and there’s so much more. How about The Man I Love (Take 1) from Miles and the Modern Jazz Giants, by way of one of many choices? Thx for considering Bill.
