'Fat Ham' is Smokin' Sumptuous in its Broadway Transfer

I haven't really scratched the surface about these mercurial musician figures in my discussions on them and their works that continue to astound us with their strong ability to be quite surprising. Nonetheless, I would say Miles Davis should be seen as one of the most prominent members of the category thanks to him basically remodifying himself a lot throughout his career. Look, he could've coasted on what he did during the 50's and the 60's, yet his 70's remain one of the most shocking explorations in … well, we should say jazz, he was the master of the idiom, though his albums from In A Silent Way basically went into the weirdest directions, causing many to be baffled by Davis' direction. However, Davis' 70's records show you the sort of freedom only jazz can provide.
