More coverage of Miles Davis' induction into Rock Hall of Fame

Monday night's induction of Miles Davis into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has inspired plenty of press coverage, some of which was noted in an earlier post. Here are three more links worth checking out:

* New York Times critic Ben Ratliff considers the seeming contradictions of voting a jazz great in the Rock Hall of Fame;

* NPR's Steve Inskeep interviews journalist Ashley Kahn to discuss the evolution of Miles Davis' electric music;

* And veteran jazz critic Stanley Crouch manages to stop being cranky about stuff, at least long enough to turn out an interesting piece for Slate on Miles as interpreter of romantic songs: "Little, dark, touchy, even evil, Miles Davis walked onto his bandstand and made public visions of tenderness that were, finally, absolute rejections of everything silly about the version of masculinity that might hobble men in either the white or the black world."
