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 a semi-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 deal with 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.

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.Musi k 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 und laut, 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. 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 è un magnifico inno alla musica. L’arrangiamento di Philip Sparke è fedele alla versione originale.
