I last heard Miles a couple years later, just a few months before he
died. You could hear occasional flashes of pre-stroke Miles, but Kenny
Garrett really carried the band. Of course, that could be my sax-player
chauvinism speaking...
My favorite Miles live performance was one I heard much earlier, by his
Filles de Killimanjaro band. Corea and Holland were fresh from Corea's
Circle group, which was pretty outside, and they'd lunge off into a kind
of electric avant garde that was a lot denser (and to my ears more
interesting) than Miles's later stuff.

Hmm. I think that needs to go on my studio wall.
