Jazzbo Notes
Only Robert Irving III on synthesizer doesn’t fit in this august company. Mostly Irving provides washes of harmony on the keyboards, which are okay, I guess. The good news is that they don’t really get in the way. […]

Burning Ambulance
But in the mid-’80s, Miles was making a concerted effort to turn himself into a starand that meant selling his face, his voiceand his totally contemporary image anywhere and everywhere he could. […]
