Title: pointless meandering
Review: This is what happens when you have complete control of your music making but don't actually have any musical ideas. Davis was the epitome of self absorbtion and should be most famous for his opinion that "white players can't play on the beat, they're always behind it." And while apologists like Herbie Hancock might claim Davis didn't turn his back on the audience, "he was conducting the band." It's kind of hard to conduct when you're simultaneously playing your trumpet with your eyes closed. Maybe if his music equalled his legend then it would be easier to accept excuses for him.
