 | | The trumpeter/bandleader/composer Miles Davis was the most musically influential, purposefully protean, cross-generationally charismatic, widely-quoted, often speculated-upon improvising artist of his, or perhaps any, era. |
 | | When he rendered a love song at a slow-dance tempo, tilting his horn (often with trademark Harmon mute in its bell) whisperingly close to the microphone, Davis (1926--1991) spoke his heart, spoke volumes, and spoke directly to millions, and the ages. |
 | | For revealing too much about a love gone wrong would breach the gentleman's code, and for men of Davis' generation, that was poor form, indeed. |
