I can see for Miles and Miles but where am I going?
This is a really good first piece, production wise and even story telling skills wise. But in the end, it's really kind of dull. The speaker is passionate, but rambles and since the producer has chosen not have a second voice in this piece, we are ultimately just kind of left to drift on top, rather than be taken to the depth of soul that Miles Davis brought to Jazz.
Sometimes, unnarrated pieces can be great. But they should be used sparingly and this piece would benefit from the context the interviewer could have brought in.
Should a station air this piece? Sure, no worries on tune out really, but frankly, no one is going to sitting in the driveway on this one either.
