Miles Davis interview, 1982

Thanks for that, Visibble. You've also drawn a good analogy with another set of 'laws'. When Miles went into the 'electric' period, it troubled many jazz critics. In reality, they needed to step outside of the box a little to be able to relate better to what was going on.

Excellent wisdom by Miles saying that you can't really judge some composition as better than others. And I strongly agree with heru1966: if you define a piece of art like it was a law of physics you simply freeze it and make it static; and art expressions are dynamic, fortunately. Thanks for the post.

Miles Davis was a 24 karot prick.

haha i dont agree but thats hillarious!

Well you obviously know all about pricks dont you!!!

Sucking all types a dick makes you a real expert.

Chicken head,
Go listen to Jarvis Cocker.

Haha the reporter has no clue.  They just used him because he's black.

Bryant Gumbel simply DOES NOT GET IT.
Stanley Crouch DOES NOT GET IT. I think certain 'jazz critics/commentators' (and even fans) are exactly like religious fundamentalists. These are people who are essentially creating rules/parameters as to what a musician should or shouldn't do with SOUND. Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, Tutu, Amandla...if Miles had followed the wisdom of this 'critical Taliban', we wouldn't have these gems to enjoy today. Miles ahead!

i love his voice

Haha love the moment around 1:11, He´s like "what the hell is he talking about?"

i love at the end gumbels like "they like the mystery..." and miles is all like, "they like it...im coOl..." that shit is gully...nuff said...
