I would want to forget that he was turning towards smooth jazz, but I can console myself that smooth jazz a la Miles would not be as horrific as smooth jazz a la most smooth jazz players (mostly the G man). You can't blame the man for trying to stay current, the only constant in his career.
Zach My theory here: Miles was trying to get a hit single because he'd never done that before.
I think, for that matter, the biggest reason for the return to the Gil charts was because he had never returned to a previous book before, and he didn't want to just reunite an old band. If he was going to go back like that, it had to be somehow different. sh
