Stanley was a pot- grubbing SKEEZER even l tho l agree with a lot of his points. Miles' electric era was definitely an acquired taste, and to tell the truth, after 'On the Corner' l shut down on him.
I get it. I love Miles for his genius, courage, fierce independence- and how watching Hendrix snd Prince gave him ideas. Just for me- not all Were enjoyable. Not sure they were for miles either.
I was playing jazz when BB and the next electric Miles albums came out- Stanley Crouch was wrong (notice I didn't say dead wrong) about selling out for money. Those albums didn't get huge commercial returns, thousands of new fans weren't jumping onboard.....think about the other music that was coming out 1970-75- I probably was the only one in my scene listening to the New Miles- nobody got it- jazzers thought it was noise- rockers weren't going to dig a bass clarinet-country and blues had solid scenes- Miles was trailblazing- we just didn't know it yet.
Stanley Crouch definitely didn’t get it lol

Simplesmente maravilhoso
Miles is cool...
3:05 I think Miles said "It might have a little more resonance there". It would make more sense too.
THUMBS DOWN after 'On the Corner' to the man who re-defined a genre many times over.
RIP Stanley Crouch
dude was clearly a suppressor of authentic inventiveness, he sucks

The mere sight of Stanley Crouch makes me sick. I dislike critics and he is the worst!
