Miles Davis Raw…Is It Fair?

In 1970, Miles Davis was “clean and healthy and at the height of his powers.” He made a set of recordings in which he tested out music. But the recordings were never meant to be released, and now that they are, some Davis fans are angry. “The set offers unprecedented insights into the musical intelligence that went into the album’s creation. But with mistakes and doodles included in the mix, are these private explorations really for public consumption decades later?”
