>THE SWEET SCENT OF JAZZMEN
FRIDAY (MAY 22) IS JAZZ NIGHT. CABLE'S BRAVO HAS MILES AND FRIENDS (10 P.M. ET), which captures Miles Davis in Paris last July during his final tour. His pithy, penetrating trumpet style is still a marvel on such compositions as "All Blues" and a funky cover of Prince's "Penetration." A few of Miles's former sidemen stop by to jam, too, including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Dave Holland, Bill Evans and Chick Corea. Jacksonville Jazz XII (PBS, 10 P.M. ET) presents another delightfully eclectic lineup from the annual Florida jazz festival. The slate includes the Rippingtons, Cuban trumpet player Arturo Sandoval, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, the Chick Corea Elektric Band and singer Diane Schuur.
