A guy watch the time and planes go by while is standing at the top of a building in Mexico City. With Miles Davis as the perfect soundtrack for the homesick of something that he never had.

Yes, Cannonball and Coltrane were on this song. This is the only song on the Kind of Blue album that was done in one take with very little rehearsal and Miles only gave the band members scales and melody lines in which to improvise. True greatness by everyone involved.

Am I right that the two saxophone players here are 'Cannonball' Adderly and John Coltrane? Like them even more than Miles himself in this piece.

I read that Miles didn't think he had achieved what he was searching for in this session. I'm glad he tried. I'm glad Bill Evans tried. The results are astounding.

Poetically lulling then haunting, and a mounting transcendence in its experience. This song has always taken me to a place I cannot really describe. This is one for any serious listener to meditate on for a while...
