His use of wide angle lenses and innovative composition was a reflection of the times-tearing down the formalist boundaries. Kicking out the jams and being in the moment. Some of it may seem a bit dated now, but a particular time, place and people were chronicled in his work in a unique way that has lasting value. Birth of the Cool. A good title but Miles owns it. For what it's worth, I once met Bailey in a Paris hotel. Introduced by a friend, we talked for awhile. An intense, brash and witty guy.
