To acknowledge the 20th anniversary of the death of Miles Davis on 28 September 1991, this week’s Cosmic Jazz featured My Miles – your chance to choose a favourite track to be played on the show. Texting to CJ live on 07797 800712 resulted in the Miles tracks on the playlist below.

Miles also features in our videoclip this week. Here he is – in all his 1970s splendour – at the Isle of Wight Festival. When asked what the 38 minute piece he played should be called, Miles simply said “Call it anything.” And that’s what it became known as. In fact, it is much of the Bitches Brew album, released that year. This remains outstanding, powerful music and a touchstone for much of what came later.
