(Editor's note: With this post, StLJN reintroduces our occasional compendium of short news items related to St. Louis jazz and/or St. Louis jazz musicians, now in a new & improved bullet-point format.)

* Miles Davis was recently the subject of one of NPR's "Jazz Profiles". Also, four Davis tracks are getting a contemporary remix treatment for Evolution of the Groove, an EP scheduled for release next month. And AllAboutJazz.com offers reviews of three new Miles-related projects from bassist Ron Carter, saxophonist Dave Liebman and trombonist Conrad Herwig here.

* Radio personality Leroy "The Jazzcat" Downs recently interviewed saxophonist Oliver Lake (pictured); you can listen to the conversation here.
