    Flame 'n' co. at it again, sketching out of sight and roamin' free as birds. Miles is flame and co. is Coltrane, Evans et al. This perfectly captures that magical time lost forever and our melancholic feeling about it. We will never ever forget Miles, Coltrane, Evans.....the flame never dies..........it never extinguishes our enthusiasm for jazz

    Trane of thought and melody following is sympathetic and moving and then there is Miles miles ahead in timeless flow of beauty
