I just loaned JJSessions Disc Five (which has the original album tracks on it) to the trumpet-playing jazzbo down the hall, who said "Joe Zawinul's on this, right? 'Cause he's the shit." Which cracks me up, because he's a trumpet guy more excited about Zawinul than Miles.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Is he one of the "Jeez, I have more chops than Miles" guys who just doesn't get it? My friend Bob is a jazz and classical trumpeter (he's a monster) and he said his Dad was like that ("Miles couldn't carry Dizzy's mouthpiece") despite Bob's thorough explanations as to why he was wrong.:-)
Calexico is on Soundcheck (WNYC.org) and is covering "ALone Again Or" as I type this.

Their version is on an EP that came out recently.

This was an in-studio performance. Only 4 of the 6 guys were there.

Nah, he's a self-described Miles fanatic. I think he's more into the Bop period, though.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Oh yeah, I picked up Filles at your recommendation last year. And I can see exactly how "He Loved Him Madly" influenced Eno. I was pretty unprepared for the McLaughlin v. Sharrock guitarfest on the Jack Johnson Sessions. I mean, the album itself rocks like hell, but the Sessions are like Can with Thurston Moore sitting in.
Oh man, I've been meaning to pick this up. I guess now I HAVE to. JJ is one of my favorite of Miles' albums, if not my absolute favorite.

Actually, one of the "Willie Nelson" tracks has a fan-freakin-tastic Bop solo on it, now that I think about it.

Yeah, man. It blew me away. I thought On the Corner was as good as it gets, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong. (edit - but, just for clarity, "He Loved Him Madly" is on Get Up With It, and GUWI seems pretty uneven.)

I've got the In A Silent Way sessions 4-disk (5?) release, which is quite good. However, the session stuff there tends towards the noodling (lots of Zawinul) - I think in that case they culled the right stuff for the actual album.

Okay, am I the only person in the world who gets all happy when Usher's "Yeah" comes on the radio?
I suspect I am, but I thought I'd check.
