Disagree I think the young man was polite and asked a honest question, Plus you can tell he is awestruck for the artist. So no I don't feel it's wrong to inquire, that's how you know and learn, Now if he had been disrespectful it would have been a whole different conversation.

Does a classical orchestra or choral group conductor face his audience when conducting? Hell no! It's all about the leader maintaining constant communication with his musicians. World class jazz musicians are constantly reading each other's body and sound language as they perform to remain cohesive. And there are frequent real-time sound imbalances, even instrument malfunctions, something that only the leader can address and fix. This would never be questioned in the classical realm. Tongue-in-cheek: If the audience really wants to experience abandonment by the artists they paid good $$$ to hear, the best way is to get that is exactly this - the leader ignores his band, totally plays to the audience, and ignores whatever potential chaos could ensue from having a disengaged front man. I think this was something the media noticed in Miles and for whatever reason, decided to make it an issue.

He's absolutely correct, there are "dead spots," on a stage even when using professional equipment. Although Brass and Woodwind instruments might be miced, a player might walk around until he finds the right spot, or they might be stationary depending upon their ability to hear the whole band. He began turning his back to the audience with Tony Williams. In both his first and second "Great Group," Miles had two dynamic drummers. I saw him with Tony Williams, Jack De Johnette, Al Foster, and Vince Wilburn, those guys would be playing hard, sweating. Miles would direct his drummer nodding for accents, cymbal crashes, which in turn would alert the band how many bars until the finish, or chord change leading into another song. There was a method to his madness.
