Miles Davis  Thinkin' One Thing And Doin' Another   Favoriting On the Corner  Legacy  The music just flows together; this tune and the one before are actually part of a longer "suite" of 20 minutes or so-- broken up to make the album more marketable. It's all one piece on the 6-CD box of the "On the Corner" sessions released on Legacy two years ago.  0:10:30 (Pop-up)
Miles Davis  Black Satin   Favoriting On the Corner  Legacy  Some say this is the only "melodic" piece from the session; listen to Badal on tabla, opening and closing the song!  0:12:51 (Pop-up)
