"Miles Davis.  "
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been wracking my brain the last week about him. An old colleague used to listen to him 20 odd years ago in the lab, and I wanted to have a relisten and I couldn't remember the name. Now I've seen it yay thank you. Small win of the day  |

I adore MD. Grew up on Kind of Blue album but I also am obsessed with his soundtrack album called Ascenseur pour l'échafaud. |

There's a song I clearly remember, so I'm going to have to listen a lot to find it, unless I can narrow it down because I can vaguely remember the CD cover. There are worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon |

I have a recollection that it was a darkish blue and black, it had a moody feel to it. Totally wracking my brain now, was a while ago. |

Oh John Coltrane is also a love of mine. And Archie Shepp (he’s kissed me!), Sonny Rollins, Keith Jarrett and so many more. I’m a jazz girl. |

Fair, but trying to remember a CD cover belonging to a team worker from over 20 years ago wasn't the easiest of tasks. |

"What musician(s) from before your time is as good as they say?
I’ll go first: Biggie and Pac.
Michael Jackson.
In my day you couldn't pick both of them... you were either east or west "
Pac is better. But they’re big good rappers. |

Estelle.
I think I love you.
Miles Davis was superb. I'd also add Luis Armstrong in there too.
I would have loved to have been around in the times of Glen Miller too and seen the band live.  |

Everybody bangs on about A Love Supreme, and rightly so. Crescent is the album I absolutely adore though. Wise One and Lonnie’s Lament are soooo beautiful .
Miles is amazing. I like In a Silent Way onwards in particular, though it gets a bit bonkers. His set at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 is mad, but brilliant (it’s on YT).

Well that's just made me feel old.
Before my time... Queen, Elton John, The Beach Boys, The Carpenters. That's what my parents played in the house. |
