LATER MILES OBSESSION


I watched a great documentary on Miles Davis called Miles Electric - A Different Kind of Blue.  I thought the documentary was very good over all.  When I watched the edited interviews I felt somewhat sad.  The interview with Easy Mo Bee was very touching and  was cut from the final film.  The album Doo-Bop is often overlooked in Miles Davis's catalog and Easy Mo Bee worked with Miles in producing the album.  I really enjoy Doo-Bop and I believe it captures a very beautiful point in  Miles's career.  Unfortunately, it was his last album.  Miles Davis's album Aura also does not get the respect that I feel it deserves.  A true concept album that illustrates the colors of Miles Davis's music.
