Since we have been celebrating the legacy of Miles Davis via the MD podcast series, we wanted to tell you about a very special, limited edition, Miles box set collection called The Genius of Miles Davis. Our friends at Sony have compiled a most comprehensive and impressive set of Miles music and accessaries that are contained in a specially designed trumpet case. Be sure to check it out @ MilesDavis.com.

JACO PASTORIUS "Fingerboard"
In this rare color photo from December 1975, an outtake from the 1976 Jaco Pastorius album cover photo sessions, Photographer Don Hunstein focuses on the spider-like dexterity of Jaco's left-hand on the fretless fingerboard of the artist's Fender bass. Jaco had removed the metal frets (which he called "speedbumps"), filled in the holes, sanded down the fingerboard and applied epoxy to prevent his Rotosound strings from cutting into the bare wood.
