Schwa. Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Has anyone out there read Miles Davis' Autobiography? I am in the middle of it right now and in one passage, Miles describes the format that they played in the small clubs back in the late 40's early 50's. The owners wanted them to play 4 sets throughout the night with each one starting 20 minutes after the hour and running to the top of the hour (40 minute sets) In that particular passage, Miles used the term "four-twenties" Very interesting.

Jaimoe Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 It's funny to hear Miles call almost everyone he played with, from Tony Williams to Coltrane, a " Bad-ass motherfucker ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
