He was billed with Wynton Marsallis (sp). Miles had top billing and chose to go on first. He was great! I have to agree with everything D. Tucker said. I haven't seen him since 1983. He still played with his back to the audience a bit but he also played directly to the audience, "posed" for pictures and played more soulful ballads than i've ever heard him do. He blew Wynton away (which i think was his intention). After Miles, hearing Wynton was dull. I left halfway through his set. Apparently many other people did the same.
