“The other day,” Feldman said with considerable relish, “I was fortunate enough to record with Miles Davis. When I was 16, I went to Paris with a friend of mine. Charlie Parker was supposed to play; he never did play there. But meanwhile, we’d walk along the Paris streets and I’d be singing Miles Davis solos. We’d learnt them off the records. I’d never, ever thought that I would record with Miles.”
And it is a long way from Piccadilly, isn’t it?”
