Well, at least you TRIED!  And, were polite about it! Everybody has different tastes.  I love it!
old maybe but there is nothing more pure in real Jazz than Miles and his trumpet 
Miles and Miles of smiles!

DEFINITELY!!! ...A JAZZ STATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





If not a whole Jazz station, how about 5th mix - Jazz!  And bump up the blues component too...

who is on alto sax?



That would be Cannonball Adderley. Who is the brother of the song's composer, Nat Adderley. 
Never can go wrong with miles davis

Vinyl. Sonny Rollins, Miles, John Coltrane, Bird and many others. 
Maybe 'cos I've been watching' Bosch or just a sign of my age. 
Anyways, for me jazz is more than music, it's a feeling, a groove into which I slip and slide - emotional music at it's very finest.
I just had a thought!
RP could be just one notch better than it's usual brilliant best.
A jazz station? 
Whatcha think, Bill and Rebecca? A Radio Paradise jazz station?
Wow. The best would get a little better!

Yes. I never really appreciated the skill and the amazing talent until my partner introduced me to it. Rock, blues, folk and Jazz now in equal measure.

Hasn't worked on me. I still hate jazz. Just rated this a 1 after rushing to click PSD! That's how much it grates on my nerves :'(
Actually a Cannonball Adderley  song.
From the album "Somethin' Else"
But Miles made it his.
Drop it like it's hot, drop drop it like it's hot
I’m always in the mood for Miles Davis, no matter what.
Like a big stick a buttah! So smooth.
What was I thinking? 9 to a 10
What a dreadful tuneless noise.
Friday afternoon working from home and writing the weekly and monthly reports that have to be done and what better companion than RP and some MD. Keep em coming Bill, my saviour and helping to  keep me sane in this strange times.

I did to, especially MD.  Years of RP, with a slow gentle exposure to the best of Jazz, have turned me around.    Today, this is a 9.

Cool you admit your biases and prejudices were wrong.  RP comments have changed from 20 years ago. Kodos!  Now if you could convince the highly intelligent younglings over at Reddit. 
To quote Tony the Tiger: ....Its just GREEEAAAT!!!!!!!!!!
Who can give this under a "7" is beyond  me...Excellent..
a Nat Adderley song that appears on Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else". One of Miles rare side appearances.
He is the definition of the term 'Legend'
 Funky D who was considered  The Godfather of the music scene in Tampa ,St Pete,  just passed after an extended battle with cancer. He was being held by his daughter and ex-wife. Miles was playing, D was waiting for the right song to exit. Rip brother.
This is just so good.

So I love Miles and this track, but it gets a lot of play and there’s so much more. How about The Man I Love (Take 1) from Miles and the Modern Jazz Giants, by way of one of many choices? Thx for considering Bill.
Grace Slick supposedly wrote WHITE RABBIT after dropping acid and listening to SKETCHES OF SPAIN for 24 hours. This man and his music were truly magic incarnate. 
OMG is all I have to say, always loved mikes going to give this a 10
My heart rate was like 40 bpm listening to that.

Blazz at it's best!
Beethoven of Jazz
Sublime. Makes working enjoyable listening to this. So cool its frozen solid 10 from me.
oooooh soooooooo coooool
This needs an '11' on the rating score ;) Sublimely wonderful!
How do I say: we need a separate, higher scale for music of this caliber? 
I'm with you, lizardking. {#Devil_pimp}

Often when I'm at work listening to RP and BillG spins an old Jazz cut, I think to myself "boy, if I was home with a neat scotch, I'd really enjoy this" and then I approach the skip button on my phone (i.e. my RP playing device which is rarely used as a telephone anymore....) and then I say 'screw it' and mentally put myself on my leather sofa in my office at home, sipping the single malt and imagining having been around when Jazz WAS pop music. 

Screw it again.... my 8 → 9

Long Live RP!!

 

Listen to this then go listen to this song by Davis 20 years later and you will understand what a journey this man took.

20.  Makes me consider if my other 10s are worthy. 
This song is very soothing and very relaxing indeed.{#Daisy}
Sublime.
On an aside oh how I loved going to the Towers Records near George Washington University and simply hanging out in their second floor jazz section for hours just grooving to alllll those beautiful sounds they'd play. What a treat and what an education reading the album jackets. Those were the days.

Increasing to 8 - Most Excellent  
A nice break from the banality of lyrics. More like this.

This is to me 7 - Quite Likeable


Sweetness and light.
It doesn't get any smoother or more intensely subtle.  Thank you for playing this.

The pride and joy of East St. Louis, IL!
So very nice...... so very nice..
perfect mood, and winding down music for this Friday night..
Thank you for the range and variety ...
So appreciate this selection  by Miles Davis ! 
Miles and Cannonball; just sizzling with inimitable energy, isn't it? Love the fat, saturated tube sounds and old-school mic placements...

We are blessed with a 'PSD' button. I was lucky enough to be given this tune when I pressed it. I suggest that next time you hear something you don't like, you press a single button, rather than typing your opinion...which you may be surprised to find, is not shared by every other soul listening to RP.

 
So you are allowed to present your opinion but he can't give his?

And again just now. I just can't stand the sound of trumpets though, no matter who plays them or how. Annoying as hell to my ears.
Bill? Can we have a Miles Day? Love the groove. 8

Well, Hackensack NJ.  Recorded in the living room of the engineer.

But yeah...

Would you say more of a Vanguard vibe, or Blue Note? 

 
Too cool daddy-o, in the engineer's living room? What a great time for jazz.

 

Dunno about which club vibe it has, question is beyond my ken. Which do you think Bobert?

And Cannonball Adderley rocks!
Quite definitely god-like.

Kudos RP. Obviously a 10, but how about doubling-down with some Clifford Brown/Max Roach? Miles' equal and contemporary, taken from us way too young. Thx!
Yeah good track.

OK Bill, play some Bruford's Earthworks!


it's all about noodling and re-noodling, and noodling some more and then noodling the noodle.{#Cowboy}
truly an innovative artist of the highest caliber

he made all his musicians play outside the box!

thank you Bill and Becky

No doubt. In a Silent Way is my all-time fave Miles album.

{#No} ...argh....choke...
At first i thought this was poor.... then the jazz & trumpet blew me away i still dunno how - makes you feel warm inside, perfect ambient music. 7>8 possibly

this just hit the spot perfectly. thanks Bill.
Ahhhhh. PERFECT. So, so so nice. Love hearing the Miles anytime, but this track is just pure gold.

Love this.. Nice Jazz..{#Bananapiano}
Now I feel like I need a cigarette and a good stiff drink.

Wonderful piece - gotta love that bass! Would be great to hear more jazz overall on RP.  Perhaps 20% more?! {#Guitarist}

Mister Davis could blow the lights out.  And doesn't this just sashay down the street thanks to that steady bass line?

What a great vibe!
Thanks for playing it!

I agree. Not really a fan of jazz in general, however, though I like some.

I can name that artist in 2 notes.  Distinctive Miles.  Wonderful.
So very New York City.

This is still soooo good for the ears...
 
I don't get Jazz. I listened to this. I still don't get jazz. Boring to me.

I started out intending to dislike this song - not a huge fan of that rambling, improvisational jazz - but it developed into a lovely, relaxing groove and before I knew it, I was in bliss-land.  And my backache went away.  I'm gradually learning to appreciate this genré of jazz, thanks to RP (and Miles Davis.) {#Cheers}
 
When Miles comes in after the sax....I just melt away there...lovely tune.
