Excuse my bluntness, but Miles never said Bill Evans wrote "Nardis." Bill Evans himself said that Miles wrote this tune for Cannonball Adderley back in 1958, Cannonball was the first to record this tune, not Miles, not Bill. It's on Portrait of Cannonball. What Miles did say was that no one could play Nardis the way Bill did and could. I agree with this. But the tune's authorship has never been in question,not even by Bill Evans.
I agree, but why is it wrong to find music because of a sample? The ones that complain about that are the ones who do nothing to educate people on great composers & musicians like Bill Evans. At least people like Madlib brings exposure to these artists for younger people to hear.
I'm here too because of madlib, and I think this is my favorite jazz song. I think it's beautiful with its simplicity, but it's emotionally creative and wondrously comforting in odd times. Thank you madlib and thank you Mr. Evans
