I got up this morning and decided to watch the Miles Davis interview that was featured on 60 Minutes in 1990. I remembered watching it when I was much younger and today just seemed like a Miles kind of day to me–whatever that means.
Here’s a Miles Davis performance of “Tutu” with Marcus Miller, David Sanborn and others. Enjoy.

When I was little this was one of my top rollerskating songs. I loved everything on the Live At Birdland
This performance was recorded in 1963. Enjoy!

When it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange.
It’s time for a change here at Stop and Hear the Music. During the next couple weeks things will start to be a little different. They’ll be a content revamp and maybe even a change in the look and feel of the blog. So let’s see what will happen.
Marcus Miller “Rehab”

This is a live performance from the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2007. I think it’s a humorous performance. It’s good but also humorous.
Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker

I don’t what the relationship between Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins was but I would say from looking at the body language in this video that they didn’t like each other. Maybe they had a little bit of a disagreement before this was shot.
Lauryn Hill “I Find It Hard to Say”

This is from the MTV Unplugged performance that Lauryn Hill did. I have this CD(MTV Unplugged), but I never saw any of the performance before. Even though her voice is going the crowd is really diggin’ it.

Originally from Benin, Lionel Loueke is an excellent guitarist and though he doesn’t consider himself a singer, I’d say he is. If I could make anything that sounded even remotely as good or interesting with my voice, I’d call myself a singer. He didn’t even start playing music until he was in his late teens. Check out his album Karibu

I just got home from walking to the grocery store. I needed to pick up a few odds and ends for dinner. The walk to the store takes about a twenty minutes. The weather is beautiful today–clear sky, nice breeze. The whole time I was walking this song was going through my head.
