Stand corrected on French horn not being a woodwind.
Overrated, come on. Compared to who?
ETA: I always thought he played the french horn. That’s pretty embarrassing. I’ve listened to a good bit of Miles. Not sure I’ve studied horns enough to visualize the difference.
Ironically, I will say the saxophone is the easiest to visualize.
Miles was pretty much all trumpet all the time, but he played with French horn players sometimes. He often used a Harmon mute (among others), which isn’t all that common, or at least it wasn’t all that common outside of Miles and his imitators. But another example of a Harmon muted trumpet is in the opening post-piano duet of Black and Tan Fantasy.
As far as overrated, I mean, I give him credit for his creativity and commitment to experimentation with sound and style. There are few if any musicians of any genre or instrument who can match him in that. But he just doesn’t hit me emotionally like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy, Ray Nance, etc., and that’s really damn important in how I appreciate music. I guess I feel like too often he lost focus on something that hits you in favor of something that’s novel, and even his masterpiece, Kind of Blue, is so focused on subtlety that it just doesn’t hit as hard as my other favorite master works.
Yeah, I feel you.
There’s the jazz you’re supposed to like and the jazz you listen to every day.
Been listening to Mingus lately. Black Saint And The Sinner Lady is a heavy trip.
JOKERR! 
And I thought why didn’t I use it on Mozart! 
While this is woodwind-heavy, the most spectacular part for me is the guitar solo.
dang, this was also my joker. thought it might be enough to leapfrog tot he top, but nope.
Some of y’all should have put a NSFW tag on these. Jesus lol.

wow, embarrassing
I totally feel a first place coming though.
Just to let you know, my body is ready.
Yup! I go on vacation Monday so I’m hoping to get at least 2 if not all 3 remaining done this week.
So next one will be approximately …?
Let’s shoot for mid day tomorrow. Say 1:30ish.
There is a very clear top 3 on this next category. Reveal sometime within the next 2 hours.
I see “reveal sometime withing the next 2 hours” and the thing in the top right says 2h.
Am I doing it right?
You are! My work is not respecting the time I put aside for Walrus. Still happening this afternoon. Just finishing some stuff up.
I mean, you could always just quit :D
Alright! I’m finally caught up. Let’s get this party started.
