Emma-Jean Thackray: Dear Miles - A Love Letter

Wird ins Deutsche übersetzt…

I discovered you by accident. As a naive thirteen year old I came across a track by mistake, not knowing your genius, not knowing how that one moment changed the trajectory of my life. I was learning a brass band solo piece, Concerto de Aranjuez, and found your version on an illegal download site. “Who is this Miles Davis guy?” I asked. No-one in my provincial orbit knew your name, so I assumed you were just some guy, and that I discovered you. After that I looked for you in CD shops, piecing together bits of pocket money to buy your work and playing it on the Discman in my hoodie on the long walk home because I could no longer afford the bus.
