Come off it Steve. I don't think either John or I were complaining about the 
exposure to Miles Davis just the absolute drivel that is written about him. 
His music can stand alone without the help of the so-called experts who seem 
to live in a self perpetuating world of pretentious claptrap. If you want to 
learn about Miles Davis listen to 'Birth of The Cool' or some of his other 
recordings. Don't waste your time, energy and money on the sort of stuff 
written by this man Shatz (Is that the past tense of a bodily function 
activity?) and others of his ilk, spend it on buying the recordings.
