That’s what I love about listening to Bird and Miles...
Bird is the Bird of Paradise. Absolutely killing it with hundreds of notes and not one is wasted.
Then in comes Miles, slowing it all down and showing you can do the exact same thing with just a few.

Just checked out that link... ha ha ha - that was so much fun to listen to Mr. Hancock tell it like it was...
