Anybody remember Miles asking "Why are they always comparing me to Wynton? How come it's never me and Chuck Mangione?"
Miles was definitely aspiring to smooth jazz towards the end. We have to face it. I thought he was aspiring towards hip hop at the end? It was Miles--he could have been doing both, but smooth jazz and hip hop!? 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
