Hi all,
Here's a french tribute to Miles Davis between bossa and cool jazz.
Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

Here's an approximate translation :

A temporary silence
swinging on the razor's edge
From your agile lips
A subtle melody
Ephemeral harmony
Brilliant as a mirror
A breath of light
comes from your funnel
Kind of blue, Silent way
Amandla, We want Miles

When the line of coke
Follows the jazz of the time
You always go on your own way
From the top of your quintet
Round midnight, Tutu
So what, We want Miles

You wore suits
with a superstar look
But your only addictions
Were your improvisations
Your notes twirl
Like a black butterfly
You sound revolt
Always to be moved
[*****] brew, Sketches of Spain
Birth of the cool, We want Miles
