Miles and Fela

Apologies for the delay in posting as I was away last weekend.  I was about halfway through putting the compilation together when I finally thought of googling Miles Davis and Fela Kuti just to see if there was any connection between the two that I should know about.  Of course, it turns out that Miles Davis proclaimed that Fela, along with Prince and a French band named Kassav, in his autobiography, as the "future of music".  Upon reading it, I kinda realized that I only started to appreciate Miles' late 60s and early 70s recordings after imbibing a great deal of Fela.  

In compiling these two volumes, I avoided any cuts that were more than 15 minutes long.   I dig a lot of their 20-30 minute jams, but I think they detract from the flow of a compilation as they're kind of like fully realized albums in their own right.
