by Jack Kenny
"Lost" has been a favored word in the last few years. Miles Davis' late sixties group was called lost because it did not record officially.

Tomasz Stanko Quartet: Dark Eyes
by Ian Patterson
As a trumpeter, Tomasz Stanko clearly owes a debt to Miles Davis; yet, after four decades making some of the most arresting small ensemble jazz music in Europe, the Polish veteran perhaps deserves to be considered in the same category as the iconic legend.
