And coincidentally, Richard Williams in his excellent blog today featured Miles in Paris:

I think Substack is your medium. The combination of music and story is perfect for you. I started to appreciate Jazz when rereading Kerouac and delving a bit deeper into the Beats.

I really enjoyed this one. How you wove between Plath’s well known complexity and your own experience of complexity as a writer during covid restrictions, because we all have those layers of need in different ways, yet there is so much commonality in our human experience. That, and the fact I now I want to go listen to some Miles Davis! Love Birth of the Cool, brilliant documentary. Really enjoying your Substack, thank you.
