by Doug Collette
With all due respect to Lettuce's A Tribute to Miles Davis--Witches Stew (Self Produced, 2017) and the all-star ensemble dubbed Bitches Brew Revisited, M.E.B. (formerly known as Miles Electric Band) is an inordinately creative homage to Miles Davis. And given the continually experimental path The Man With The Horn" chose to follow throughout his career, it is no doubt one of which he would approve.

He is perhaps best known as a musician in connection with Miles Davis, David Sanborn, ...
