We are students of Miles. Miles Davis, mentor would have been 88 years old this day, Monday May 26, 2014. What a true Memorial Day it is for jazz fans everywhere!
It is right and just that Miles Davis should have a street named after him in New York City on his 88th Birthday. After all he lived and created his extemporaneous genius at 312 West 77th Street. From this day forward we will know this street as Miles Davis Way.
The digital music technologist in me honored Miles legacy today by listening to various Miles Davis full album recordings in HQ via YouTube over the InterWeb.
The technology configuration I streamed Miles music through:
1. The Google Chromecast* USB attached to the back of a Sony HDTV 61″ LCD display. The television screen displayed the various covers and other images which is cool. (*Aided and abetted by the Google Chrome Browser extension on a MacBook Pro I7 with Mac OS/X 10.9.3)
2. I also connected to Optimum Cablevision Internet via a NetGear 802.11ac Wireless Router. Chromecast was then secured over that Wireless Access Point (WAP)
3. The sound was represented by a Sony Blu-Ray Home Theater 7.1 Surround Sound system.
It sounded fantastic!

I heard on the radio that Davis wsa given trumpet lessons by his father to annoy his piano playing mother. if only more dysfunctional families produced such geniuses!

Barb,
I never heard that before about Miles. I am starting to read his autobiography, Miles. I’ll have to look for that reference.
