What the hell happens on the first head from the Plugged Nickel? Miles lays out for the last five bars of the second A; is where he comes in for the bridge really where it starts, and is where he ends really at bar 8 (of the same tempo)!?

Yeah, he plays the bridge...he also plays the bridge at the German bootleg from 64...so at some point he started taking the bridges of the head, not piano.

The rest of it is just loose and fast and sloppy. And Tony plays a metric modulation underneath the last A. Form is more or less intact, hanging by a thread.

Yeah, that's what I heard and, sort of, felt, too. (It's very fast, but I don't think that's necessarily what makes it so hard to count and feel..)
