"There is a view that jazz is 'evil' because it comes from evil people, but actually the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York City were the musicians. They were doing the greatest healing work. They knew how to punch through music that would cure and make people feel good."
– Garth Hudson

"In 1969, while he was working on 'Bitches Brew" in New York City, Miles Davis decided to take a night off in the Village. Whilst he was strolling about in the company of a blonde woman, Miles spotted David Crosby. He approached him and asked "Are you Crosby?" As Crosby was a bit stunned, he didn't immediately respond. That prompted Miles to attempt to introduce himself. But, as he was about to say "I'm Mi...," Crosby regained his bearings and said "Yeah, yeah...I know who you are. How are you, man? Miles simply responded "I recorded one of your songs." "Which one?" asked Crosby. "Guinnevere'," said Miles. "Wanna hear it?" At that point, even more stunned than he already was, Crosby simply said "HO-LEE SHIT!"
Miles invited Crosby [and the woman] to jump into his Ferrari for a ride to his uptown brownstone. Once they arrived at the brownstone... well, perhaps It's best to have Graham Nash tell the rest of the story
"Miles put on the song, a twenty-minute version that riffed in myriad cosmic directions, and went into the bedroom with the blonde, leaving David there to smoke it and listen to the track. A half hour later, Miles emerged from the bedroom rendezvous. “So, Dave, what do you think?” Crosby threw him one of his trademark glares. “Well, Miles, you can use the tune, but you have to take my name off of it.” Miles was crestfallen. “You don’t like it?” he asked. Crosby refused to temper his opinion, even for royalty like Miles Davis.
“No, man – no. I don’t like it at all.”
About ten years later, I was at an after-party event for the Grammys at Mr. Chow in LA and saw Miles come in with Cicely Tyson. He caught my eye and started waving insistently at me. I looked over my shoulder, certain he must be gesturing to someone else. “No, no, c’mere, man,” he insisted. When I got within earshot, he leaned close and asked in his low, gravelly voice, “Crosby still pissed at me?”
I said, “You mean about Guinevere’?”
“Yeah.” He nodded. “He still pissed?”
“I don’t think so, Miles. He was either too high or he wasn’t in the right mood to hear your take on it. He probably expected the chords to be the same as his, but I don’t think he’s pissed at you one bit.”
Miles pondered this with Socratic intensity. “Okay. Tell David hello. Tell him I hope he’s not still pissed.”

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 (February 28, 1941 – November 21, 2024) was an American artist, author and restaurateur. A resident of Massachusetts for her entire adult life, Brock owned and operated three restaurants in the Berkshires—The Back Room, Take-Out Alice, and Alice's at Avaloch—in succession between 1965 and 1979. The first of these inspired the title of Arlo Guthrie's 1967 song "Alice's Restaurant", which in turn inspired a 1969 film of the same name.

In 1933, direct-cut disks had not yet been introduced (and modern magnetic tape was 12 years away): other than making pressed gramophone records (expensive and slow) the only recording method available was the cumbersome steel tape. For the first time (as far as I know), a programme was assembled by cutting and joining sections of tape. This is an excerpt from the 45 minute programme, broadcast on 12 January 1933, with the inserts linked by H. Lynton Fletcher and pre-recorded on 21 December 1932. It includes the voice of Amelia Earhart (at 2m 32s). Duration 7 minutes 53 seconds.
The Blatterphone used 6mm wide steel tape travelling at 5 feet per second: the large reels (weighing 14kg) allowed for 20 minutes of continuous recording and, importantly for the BBC, once the recording had been rewound it could be played back without further processing. The first machine was installed in 1930 and later joined by a second; in September 1932 a new version using 3mm wide tape and allowing for 30 minutes recording became available.
A major use for the machines was for the Empire Service, which started in 1932, and often required programmes to be broadcast in the middle of the night; the Blattnerphone allowed these to be recorded in advance. However there were many problems. The speed was unstable, the sound quality was hissy and lacking in top, and both the heads and the tape could break easily. Editing was possible, though this required either a soldering iron or a spot-welder and left an audible plop as the joint passed through, so it was rarely done.
