"The music of the second Quintet, from late summer 1964 to mid-1968, is some of the most avant-garde music made, and it is so because it is tonal" – EXACTLY. Not to mention the many formal innovations that followed via his collaboration with Teo Macero

Mr. Grella, what a wonderful article (can I call it that? Yes, I will), thank you. It is a very poignant coincidence that where I live, Miles' birthday fell on the same day that Sonny Rollins passed, which you alluded to at the very end of your article.

Yes, that news came in to me as I was editing this, indeed a sad coincidence.
