2026.05.25 Michael Veal on Miles Davis - 2 of 3

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-k7i44-... When they go deep, we go deeper.     We have been thinking about Miles Davis in anticipation of his centennial (May 26).  How about we explore a dark corner of his vast touring history, his so-called "Lost Quintet"?  We have so many questions about it, but who to ask?  How about the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject?     On this week's Deep Focus, host Mitch Goldman welcomes musician/professor/author Michael E. Veal.  His book, Living Space: John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Free Jazz, from Analog to Digital, opens a door to Miles' confounding and underdocumented 1969 group, whose members all became hugely influential bandleaders in their own right.  If only the WKCR archives were overflowing with rare, live recordings of this group.  Wait, did anyone check that last shelf on the left?     Tune in this Monday (5/25) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  It will join over 450 promo-free episodes.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, sponsor-free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-f... join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Miles Davis 1970 outside his home, West 77th St., NYC #WKCR #DeepFocus #MichaelEVeal #MilesDavis #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman #LostQuintet #WayneShorter #ChickCorea #DaveHolland #JackDeJohnette
