Boy, Herbie must have been having a really bad night. He's such a talented musician and composer. Never thought of him as not in the same league.

 

Nope, he wasn't having a bad night. I like a bunch of Herbie Hancock's music, and I had never thought of him as not being in the same league either.

 

It's just that *nobody* was really in the same league as Miles. He was exploring the unknown and blowing the tops of our heads off doing it, while Herbie was playing music. Doing a fine job of it, but in that moment, the contrast coming right after Miles made playing music seem kind of, well, boring.

Though I would have had to stay for Herbie :).  Though was this in his electric, I think more simple phase?  I suspect so.  You aren't that old :).


This would have been approximately Fall 1974 or Winter 1975.
