― RabiesAngentleman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 11:55 (eighteen years ago)
I don't think some of these are so "ridiculous" rather than "of their age". And Miles's 70s outfit still looks pretty cool today.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:28 (eighteen years ago)

which makes the Cosby look all the more arresting for me
― RabiesAngentleman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:49 (eighteen years ago)
I don't see them as that far apart, actually. Then again, I own a kente cloth kufi hat.
― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:57 (eighteen years ago)
One looks like a vaguely psychedelic potato sack and the other is an old man sweater.
― RabiesAngentleman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:51 (eighteen years ago)
Dude is 68, was 30 when Live at the East was recorded! He's entitled to have changed his style a tad.
― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 14:36 (eighteen years ago)
Oh, wiki says he's not 68 till October. Still, old enough to rock a sweater.
― Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 14:39 (eighteen years ago)
Re: the second picture. I didn't know that NY Gov. David Paterson used to be a jazz pianist.

it is kind of weird how even in 1969 he looked much closer to Charlie Parker era miles than mid-70s miles.
