I realized someone might try to attach one style or the other to one type of
coffee. I wasn't aiming to do so. 

Speaking seriously, I suppose Miles = American coffee if you look at it as
something to enjoy slowly with little apparent excitement leaping out at
you.  

However, if you listen to Miles again...at one minute 18 seconds the band &
trumpet come together in a swinging climb up the scale that IS very
exciting.  I think you have to wait for those little bits, and hear the
differences in the melody line which are quite clever.  I say clever,
because I wouldn't necessarily think of those little pauses or advances that
make all the difference in a rather mundane melody.

I doubt if I will have convinced many, but that is my opinion anyway!
