Miles was bigtime keen on increasing his black audience in the 70s - see
some of the advertising for On The Corner, done by Columbia as result of
Miles' urging. How he went about it musically is fascinatingly strange
because he just wouldn't take the easy route of straightahead funk.
All the best,
Colin
