Miles Davis — Time After Time



With a week's delay, we salute Miles Davis on the occasion of his birthday [26 May, 1926], with two performances on YouTube: the first Time After Time, is a tune more frequently identified with Cyndi Lauper. yusuke1200mk4, who posted the video to YouTube provides the following information: "1985. Miles Davis (trumpet}, Robert Berg (sax), Robert Irving III (synthesizer), Daryl Jones (bass), John Scofield (guitar), Steve Thornton (percussion), Vince Wilburn (drums)."



The literature of Miles Davis is as vast as it is deep, so we also feature a fantastic 1958 clip of So What. Note the young saxophonist putting the jazz world on notice. John Coltrane.
