Interessante Gedanken und Anregungen.
Eine angeblich gemeinsame Session mit Davis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Paul Bruckmaster und anderen wurde damals von Jack Chambers zum ersten mal in Milerstones II erwähnt, Ian Carr hatte das dann aber bereits in seiner Biografie widerlegt. Als Ergänzung zu den obigen Zitaten daher vielleicht ganz brauchbar:
Jack Chambers in his biography of Miles Davis writes that this break in the recording sessions with his young band occurred because Miles did some recording with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Paul Buckmaster and others. This is contradicted by Stockhausen’s trumpet-playing son, Markus, who says his father never ever met Miles Davis. Paul Buckmaster was also not there, and nor were the others. If there is any similarity between the music of Davis and that of Stockhausen, it is simply coincidental – their developments were parallel, and either man might well have said, like the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, „The influence of genius is to make me admire … and do otherwise“.
