Re: Where did Miles go to learn music? =Julliard School, NY

Not if you were in the film. Vincent (Cruise) dispathes the trumpeter/club owner who gives that answer, observing that Miles quickly left Julliard to apprentice with Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, and he stayed with Bird until late 1948. (Bird replaced him with Kenny Dorham, who also replaced the late Clifford Brown in Max Roach's band in 1956). Miles' next project was the three "Birth of the Cool" recording sessions in 1949 and 1950. A version of that nonet appeared at the Royal Roost in 1948.

BTW, it's spelled "Thelonious". Critic Ira Gitler once observed that if Monk had a dime for every time his named was mis-spelled he'd be a rich man.
