I grew up with Jazz...my Father and Mother were into it.
As Lenny Bruce once said, to be cool in the 50's and early 60's, you had to listen to Jazz, drive a Jaguar and have a stereo system where the weakest link in the system was the human ear.
That was him.
So I'm pretty well versed in who was who from that era. I liked Monk and Lewis and Parker. Loved Sonny Rollins, Benny Goodman. Ella. So many others.
But I never got Miles Davis either. Nor Billie Holiday.
As an aside, Aja does have perhaps the greatest lyric ever: I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets...
