(from miles smiles), ?masquelero" (from sorcerer ) and ?riot" (from nefertiti); love miles still reviews some of the early classics that played for years - ?round midnight?, ?on green dolphin street? and ?no blues? all of them in amazing and different interpretations of the original studio versions.
