Mal, I hope you and your loved ones are safe. Sending healing thoughts to you and the country.

[totownmedia]

@Streamline09 Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and concern. We are all well and watching the situation carefully.

from all the interviews besides this one

he seems very cocky and kind of mean

in this video series he is really nice!

i cant believe you met him thats so cool

have you met dizzy too?

if you have then you have lived!

@JazzNaySean

Thank you. Yes, we established a great relationship during our acquaintanceship. He was very much at ease after the first couple of interviews. The very first interview lasted all of 90 seconds before he ordered me to turn off the tape recorder because I had obviously asked him something stupid. Yes, I also knew and interviewed Dizzy. He was always cool and cooperative. He is featured in an impromptu interview on Part 1 of the Miles series (poor audio though).

@totownmedia

What did you ask him that was stupid??? And what did he say after you asked him???

[totownmedia]

@prettyboytroy555 The first time I interviewed him he had just returned to touring following a long break due to illness. I asked him to what he had attributed his return to health. He looked at his manager and asked, "Bob, did you do this to me?", as if to say did you set me up with this rookie ass reporter. Then, without looking at me once, he replied, "I swim every day and mind my own God damn business." That was apparently a stupid question. The interview ended shortly thereafter.

When clueless people call Miles Davis insane, or say he was on drugs, drunk, it makes me wonder about the level of apathy and superficiality we live today. Is this the internet generation? Miles is an icon,one of the greatest musicians of all time. He was not a virtuoso, he was not a composer, but he had "THE" sound, "THE" phrasing. The guy formed THE MOST LEGENDARY jazz groups in history like the quintets from the 50's&60's, plus the Bitches Brew era. Things are getting SO SQUARE and pathetic.

Racist? Was he racist when he invited Bill Evans to play with him? How about David Sanborn,Red Rodney,Herb Ellis,Stan Getz. I can go ALL NIGHT WITH THIS PREMISE.What the hell are you talking about.

This by far is one of the best interviews I ever seen of Miles Davis... I mean, he had me cracking up! I didn't even know he had such a great sense of humor! RIP Miles Davis!

[Guitfiddlejase]

Thank you so much for posting these Sir...

[Streamline09]

@totownmedia I'm glad to know that, Mal. BTW, in this video you and Miles discuss the lack of stress and wrinkles that you and Miles appreciated while in Japan, as opposed to the Dorian Gray (see Oscar Wilde) effect that Miles referred to experiencing in the States. I'm curious to know what it was about the culture(s?) of the Japanese that he loved so much--in addition to the Japanese people recognizing his sound. Thank you, Mal. Have you considered writing a book about life in Japan and Miles?

Miles was such a boss. he cuts off the interview mid-sentence to use the bathroom. gangsta

[emoneybagz23]

His taste in cars was impeccable.
