Gestern vergessen: „Tune Up“ und „Four“ hat Eddie „Cleanhead“ Vinson geschrieben. Wie Miles an die Rechte kam, weiss ich nicht mehr genau. Die englische Wiki-Seite sagt „mistakenly attributed“, aber ich glaube, die Geschichte geht anders (Fats Waller verkaufte ja z.B. seine besten Stücke, wenn man ihn auf einen Burger oder sowas einlud).
Hier gibt’s mehr dazu, und auch zu „Solar“, „Walkin'“ …):

In den Kommentaren z.B. das hier:
My wife and I once heard Chet Baker( who is of course a professed and notable admirer of Davis) live in the eighties. When he was about to play “Four”, Chet said that all the musicians know that Miles bought the rights for four bucks and a bottle of wine from Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, who’d been playing it for years.
Und hier, von Jimmy Cobb:

Jimmy CobbFunny things used to happen in the studio. We’d be in a recording session, and the engineer would say, “What song was that, Miles?” Miles would tell him, and the guy would write it down and credit Miles. A bunch of songs were attributed to Miles that way—like Four and Tune Up. Both were really by Eddie „Cleanhead“ Vinson. I heard Cleanhead one time asked Miles for some money for those records. Cleanhead really deserves more credit. He was a good blues singer and a good player.
Und Lou Donaldson:
Panken: You’ve been doing that for 20 years or so.
Donaldson: Yes. Eddie was a good songwriter, too. He wrote a couple of songs that Miles stole and put his name on.
Panken: “Four” was one of them, right?
Donaldson: “Four.” Ha-ha. You know about it, yeah.
Panken: “Tune-Up” maybe?
Donaldson: “Tune-Up,” yup. Yeah, you know about it. That’s what was happening back then. It’s a different world.
