Born in Jarrow, northeast England, in 1949, John Miles was something of a child prodigy, learning the piano from the age of five. In the early '60s he persuaded his father to buy him a guitar and by the end of the decade he had joined asemi-professional band, The Influence. The group soon disbanded and by 1969 Miles was recording with his own group, The John Miles Band, releasing a dozen singles in the early '70s. In 1975 Miles decided to move to London and secured a dealwith Decca Records. By October that year, a newly formed band, John Miles and Co, had released their debut single, Highfly, but their greatest hit, which stormed the British charts in March 1976, was Music.

In 1976 bestormde het nummer Music van de band John Miles and Co de hitparades. Music, vaak bekritiseerd als pompeus en hoogdravend in een periode die steeds meer de kant van de punk opging, was in feite typisch Britsetechnopop en daarbij een bepalende plaat voor die tijd, samen met nummers als Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Met veel gevoel voor dynamiek en dramatiek werkt deze ode aan de muziek nog altijd aanstekelijk.

"Musik war meine erste Liebe"- so beginnt der Text dieses Pop-Klassikers aus den Siebzigern von John Miles, der mit dieser Zeile damit damals und heute den Nerv aller begeisterten Musiker und Musikfans der Welt traf. Leise undlaut, gefühlvoll und dramatisch, zieht diese schöne Liebeserklärung an die Musik in der Blasorchester-Bearbeitung von Philip Sparke noch immer Musiker und Zuhörer unweigerlich in ihren Bann.

Né en 1949 Jarrow dans le nord-est de l’Angleterre, John Miles est considéré comme un enfant prodige, apprenant le piano dès l’ ge de cinq ans. Au début des années 60, il persuade son père de lui acheter une guitare. En 1975, il s’installe Londres et signe un contrat avec la maison de disques Decca. En octobre de cette même année, John Miles et son nouveau groupe, le John Miles and Co., sortent leur premier single intitulé Highfly. Mais c’est avec le titre Music, leurplus grand succès, que le groupe conquit les hit-parades anglais en mars 1976.

E' con Music, il suo più grande successo, che John Miles (1949) conquista le hit-parade inglesi nel marzo 1976. Espressiva, potente e dinamica, questa canzone é un magnifico inno alla musica. L'arrangiamento di PhilipSparke é fedele alla versione originale.
