slaytonf Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 In the album Miles Ahead, Miles Davis and Gil Evans' collaboration produced a sound unique in music. To me it's a fusion of the big band sound of the likes of Stan Kenton and Miles' own cool jazz. The soundest and coolest of these is a tune called "New Rhumba": It's sharp, clean, incisive. I imagine a slick, modern, mod tale, likely set in the 60s era of closely tailored suits, Givenchy, knife-edge style cars, and Jet-set travel; that follows a character or characters who move easily between different worlds of high finance, or society, the art milieux, or sleeve-rolled working classes. I only get a style, impression, but no plot. It may involve romance, or conflict, or the righting of a wrong, or push to make something good. All I know is this is killer music and there has to be a movie it can open for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
