about

I have always been attracted to the compositions of Miles Davis and those of his mid-sixties quintet (Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock). This tune is “circular” being 21 bars in length. The commonality of tones between seemingly unrelated chords makes the progression very ‘forgiving’ when soloing. Also, this is a song about letting go, about forgiving, be it yourself or someone else. The act of forgiveness requires a strong heart and can often involve a great deal of pain. In the end though, we all feel better when we have forgiven or been forgiven.
