Steve (et. al): Just for the sake of historical accuracy, the Marsalis incident took place in Vancouver, about 2,000 miles away from Toronto. Toronto= Massey Hall concert with Bird, Diz, Bud, Mingus and Max Vancouver = Miles and Wynton spat Ken Waxman P.S. For any who don't yet know, Marlon Jordan (below)'s father Kidd Jordan, who almost single-handedly keeps the so-called avant garde going in New Orleans, is playing the Guelph Jazz Festival, in Guelph, Ont., near Toronto in early September. Kidd (ts) will be in a quartet with Fred Anderson (ts), William Parker (b) and Hamid Drake (d) -k --- Steve Smith <ssmith36@sprynet.com> wrote: the second time was with Marlon Jordan, McCoy Tyner, Lee Ritenour (with his "standards" band), Geroge Benson and -- immediately prior to Miles -- the Wynton
Marsalis Septet. I've always wondered if Miles was so transcendent that second time because he was following Wynton; it was the same tour during which the infamous Toronto incident took place, when Wynton tried to sit in and Miles stopped the band until he left.
