Nice! I appreciate your reference to Miles Davis albums. I own several. Sadly, "Kind of Blue" is not one of them.
Thank you for the nice comment dmacmillan!
I own dozes of Miles Davis albums, including "Kind of Blue". One of those albums that came to my mind after the shooting of this picture was "Sketches of Spain", which was arranged by the great Gil Evans.
I´m a professional musician (my main profession) and actually, believe it or not, I have played with Gil Evans once in 1987 in Helsinki, Finland. He was conducting and playing a concert with the UMO Jazz Orchestra. He was a really nice person and had a good sense of humour too. During a coffee break we were talking about aging, among other things. He told that he feels like a young man (he was 75 at the time), but always gets a shock in the mornings when he puts the lights on in the bathroom and looks at the mirror: there is some strange old man staring at him! : )
Sadly Mr. Evans passed away about a year after our concert.
