Emotionally.... it comes off as the confusion I generally feel. Life is so messed up in many ways... And Miles Davis just has a way of making you feel like you're not the only one who feels like that.
I honestly wouldn't have picked Miles for you though, yov.
You seem more like someone who needs something.... Norah Jones... or perhaps Billie Holliday....
It can be hard to "pick" jazz for someone else. It is something you have to find on your own. The album I mentioned in my post above is a pretty broad collection of styles. Herbie Hancock plays the piano & is very versatile.
One thing that my husband hasn't quite learned is that jazz can be very subjective to what you are feeling, and what he might like to listen to isn't always what I need to listen to. That is also why it is sometimes hard to listen to jazz on the radio.
Hope I'm makin' sense.
When TTBK & I got engaged I started writing him emails with samples of jazz hits to help him understand why I enjoyed it so much. It's such a culture on its own. I could probably post some of them, if you'd like. I particularly remember Billie Holliday's version of "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" being a big hit with him. It helped turned the lights on, so to speak.
