Very cool video by Henry Rollins talking about how much of a bad ass Miles Davis was, and how he affected music and Rollins himself... I enjoyed this!

Miles was, in many people's opinions including my own, one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. This is Rollins' astute take on why.

Miles is the man.
I was really impressed with Rollins' knowledge and enthusiasm for Miles.
Nice find. Thanks!

I gotta ask this cause this is always interesting to hear... Are you a big jazz fan, and what period of Miles appeals to you the most?
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, I'm a fairly big jazz fan. My tastes run more to the bop era, so I'm not as educated about his electric/fusion period. I'm exploring it a bit more, though. Oddly, though I grew-up thoroughly drenched in rock and funk of the 60's and 70's, Miles' electric stuff is a bit hard to get into for me. Part of that may also be that the friend who turned me on to jazz utterly hated fusion. He was a huge Ellington man, though, so it's all good.

Any Henry Rollins fans here? I was impressed at his last show I saw, and I remember being impressed with his musical knowledge at the time, but this was definitely reaffirmed with this piece and his obvious knowledge of so many jazz musicians and Miles' career.
