"Tempus Fugit" indeed. I've just finished re-reading a faded, yellowing article from my scrapbook, which was published in the Sydney Morning Herald immediately following the great man's death. Though the years have swiftly passed, Miles' ground-breaking music sounds as vigorous and innovative as it always has. Thankyou so much ABC Jazz broadcasting all this astonishing music from Miles.
The Plugged Nickel material too, provides a wonderful album and is interesting in its own way as Miles was then going through a challenging period of transition.
