Good post...

I had no idea... Even from beyond the grave Miles is still tearing it up!

This is what I like:

Sales of Davis' music have not slowed since his death 15 years ago.

"There's not an easier musician to market than Miles Davis. There are so many different version of Miles Davis. People can plug into the Miles they like," said jazz critic Gerald Early, who has edited a book on Davis. "As far as an artistic commodity, he's very valuable."

"Kind of Blue," still sells thousands of CDs a week, according to Sony BMG. It's Davis' most acclaimed recording with the smooth melodies of John Coltrane and other jazz greats. Davis records that also are jazz-collection essentials, including the trippy "Bitches Brew" and "Birth of the Cool" have maintained similar stamina.

Miles was another Vacchiano student. Got a B+ from him.
