When Gil Scott-Heron was almost 10, 'Kind of Blue' came out. Questions like Miles Davis' composition, "So What," became a root influence on Scott-Heron and his generation. Spoken word, poetry, fusion, political rap and protest songs, informed the pensive Gil Scott-Heron. Miles Davis, after all, always looked and sounded deep in thought while he performed in 1959.

About
Miles, Wayne, Herbie, Ron and Tony.
Biography
Miles and his Disciples were daring, ferocious and mysterious, straddling the line between acoustic and electric jazz. During this period, The Quintet incorporated electric sounds into their acoustic reportoire and yielded such classic recordings as "E.S.P." and "Nefertiti". These assemblymen were impressionistic, wholly improvisational yet also, trying to hit their stride as a cohesive whole. The four years that they were together marked an epochal shift in the tide of Jazz music; the acoustic age gave way to the boundless nature of the electric. The Second Great Quintet played second fiddle to no one and throughout their four years of existence, consistently pushed themselves and the perceived confines of their chosen medium. -All Music

Mike Winkle performance 5/27/11 at Arrivederci
> Dear Music Lovers,
> Please join me at Arrivederci on Friday May 27th from 7:30-10:30. I will be performing with a great group featuring guitarist Chuck Everett, Matthew Lotz on piano and Marty Higgins on drums. We draw heavily from the "Great American Songbook" but venture into quite a few other genres when the mood strikes. This group has played together off and on for years and I am proud to be associated with these great musicians.
> Arrivederci is quickly becoming one of the Portland area's favorite live music venues. Very casual, intimate and just a great space for listening to live music. Excellent wine selection, food and ambiance. Reservations are recommended.
