Sunday Conversation: Phil Lesh On How Miles Davis And John Coltrane Were The Inspiration For The Grateful Dead
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Phil Lesh will team with Wilco's Nels Cline and Jeff Tweedy for a one-time only "PHILCO" show, August 26, as part of Chicago's Sacred Rose Festival. For the eternally youthful 82-year-old, the gig with Cline and Tweedy carries on a more than six-decade career built on collaboration, starting for him with The Grateful Dead. As he explained when we spoke recently, the Dead was built on the musical unions he saw in two of the greatest jazz combos of all time, led by Miles Davis and John Coltrane. "The basic inspiration for The Grateful Dead was the Miles [Davis] Quartet with Coltrane or Trane's quartet from the early Sixties.

The influx is an alarming trend made more difficult by the wide range of nationalities arriving. Many of the migrants who spoke to CNN said they came from Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia and Peru -- marking a shift from previous years. Previously, Yuma usually received people from Mexico and Central America, meaning countries that are easier to process, according to Yuma Border Patrol Sector Chief Chris Clem. Now, they're seeing more than 100 nationalities.
