Miles Davis: The Man With The Horn
Gene Santoro, Pulse!, June 1988
IT'S DRIZZLING on an unseasonably warm spring day in New York; even the huge bay windows in this suite on the upper reaches of the swank Essex House — which sits on Central Park's southern edge — reveal only the muted greens of the reviving foliage below and the dull gray sky above. The plush suite's hallway is crammed with huge cardboard boxes; the living room has a Yamaha DX7 keyboard and a four-track recording machine set up within reach of an armchair where, across a coffee table littered with magazines (Details, Interview, Vogue) topped by score pads and a couple of trumpets, sits Miles Dewey Davis III.
