Actually a Cannonball Adderley  song.
From the album "Somethin' Else"
But Miles made it his.

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.

a Nat Adderley song that appears on Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else". One of Miles rare side appearances.

 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.

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.

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.

"... there is jazz and there is jazz."  How very true.  If you want to like jazz, listen to more of it.  If you don't want to like jazz, I don't mind.

Within all genres of anything, there is variety.  For example, Rock and Roll:  Elvis (Presley or Costello), Scorpions, ZZ Top, U2, the Cure, Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Ramones .... and Whitesnake.  Note:  NOT a comprehensive list.

Hmmmm... there is jazz and there is jazz. Some drives me crazy (Rahsaan Roland Kirk, you know who you are), and some I am crazy for (Miles, Oscar, Stan, please take a bow), but when someone says that "they hate jazz" as a blanket statement, I tend to think that either they haven't listened to enough different people, or listened long enough to the people that they hate to 'get' it. I mean, ragtime, dixieland, big band, cool jazz, electric, Django and the Hot Five, Billie Holliday, Ella, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, Wayne Shorter, Diana Krall, surely there is something there for everyone.
And, to all those 'free jazz' buffs in general and fans of Kirk in particular, I admit it,if I listened to that genre enough I probably would come to appreciate it, at least a little bit.
 
First Fillmore concert I went to (the original at Fillmore and Geary—there was a bushel basket of apples at the entrance for anyone who was hungry) was the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (Bloomfield had just left the band, and we didn't know...nertz) and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who just blew the cover off the place. I'm still not smart enough to get what he was doing, but what he was doing was mesmerizing. Kirk having taken care of the roof, Butterfield proceeded to blow the walls out.

BTW, Adderley kicks serious ass on this song.
