Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded a complete failure.

When we last saw Miles, playing in Germany in 1967, he was wearing a suit and tie. Here, two years later, his wardrobe is headed in a new direction. So is his music.

“Milestones,” “Footprints,” “’Round Midnight”

*MD, trumpet; Wayne Shorter, tenor and soprano saxophones; Chick Corea, electric piano; Dave Holland, bass; Jack DeJohnette, drums.
