I like this list, but it seems like a major oversight not to list anything from his period with Miles Davis.

Thank you. Interesting to me that the populist leader, in this definition, divides society into two "artificial groups". I guess its not populism if there really is an elite opposed to "the people". In the U.S., it seems like criticism of "populism" usu works to validate centrist Dems.

Yes - absolutely. I couldn't agree more. Ellison's essays are among the most insightful things I have ever read on jazz. As for Murray, while I disagree with a lot of his assessments, I have a very vivid memory of the first time I cracked open _Stomping the Blues_ and read about "blue devils".
