And, the point to open the sound as a quite different expression method even if a sound the same as the point that should make a special mention is repeated. The overall impression might change a little depending on the musician who appointed it of course. However, because Miles Davis supports and proposes it, it is possible to perform music completely. And, a bad doing might become possible. However, the truth to which the highest level was maintained as Miles Davis always had eyes of the foresight will have been his talent.
