The Miles Bonny Show Debuts Online … and Questions Our Authority!

The Miles Bonny Show #001 from miles bonny on Vimeo.

If you’ve got 48 minutes and 37 seconds of time to kill (in front of your computer, naturally) and can bear the sound of ice clinking in large tumblers of beverage to a greatly amplified degree followed by the sound of said tumblers being placed loudly onto the same table on which the microphone/camera is resting, then check out the Miles Bonny Show, now playing at the venerable local DJ and musician‘s Vimeo site, or watch it above.

As I write this, I’m at the 12-minute mark, and Miles and his co-host, Beatbroker, have gone over the latest issues of both The Pitch and Ink. Well, “riffed on” is a better term than “gone over.” The important thing is that Miles reads aloud something I wrote about the People’s Liberation Big Band of Greater Kansas City in which I compare them to Charles Mingus and then says, “I don’t know if I trust Jason’s opinion regarding Charles Mingus or not, but I guess … the truth will be demonstrated.”

To that I say, What cheek!

Not trust my opinion of Mingus!?!?!?

Well, I wouldn’t trust my opinion on Mingus, either, but let me tell you why I thought of Mingus while watching People’s Lib BB.
