SFJAZZ Just heard about the exhibition "We Want Miles - Miles Davis: The Face of a Legend" in Paris at Cite de la Musique, running thru January 17, 2010. The exhibition was created with blessings from Miles' estate and it explores his career from his early days in St. Louis until his death in 1991. Some good photos and more background at the blog post below!

SFJAZZ Our friends at Jambase just posted a review of ORNETTE COLEMAN's show last week. Not to make you feel bad if you missed it, but they're right: "All the musicians were swimming in a deep musical ether of complexity, which few could truly understand, but the feeling and soul that came out of such beautiful cacophony was... astounding.

SFJAZZ Examiner reviews ORNETTE COLEMAN's astounding concert on Sunday night: "On the way out of the theatre, I saw a man ask a kid what he had thought of the show. The kid was speechless, mouth agape. The man offered, 'Mind-blowing, right.' The kid just nodded."
