In a little while I’ll be sending out this week’s newsletter for paying supporters. I’ll be taking a look at Ian Carr’s wonderful 1998 book about Miles Davis, “Miles: The Definitive Biography,” and my Song of the Week features a deep cut from “Sketches of Spain,” the last of three collaborations between Miles and the composer-arranger Gil Evans. Plus the week’s posts and photography.
