"White people don't get it?" I respect Miles' work -- but I think Miles said this because Bill Evans couldn't hear it. Evans who worked with Miles Davis & their work together became pivitol to Miles' career & fame. No accident. Who is "they?" Miles? I understand what is "meant" but I think his generalization isn't fair. Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Buddy Rich & Lenny Tristano -- they must "get it." They were 'audience" at one time. "White people don't get it," -- tell that John Hammond.

@jlhyz2 - Your response -- jlhyz2 -- is an intelligent assessment and I understand & accept it. Sometimes I pose a question just to see what idiotic answer or response I get. Yours is logical and respectable and best of all -- it's true.

[jlhyz2]

@lastrada52 He said that because alot of white people thought he just woke up with the blues and he's saying he really had to practice to play. He didn't doubt the talent of Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck and Chick Corea.

@lastrada52 if a musical legend, who became one through who knows what obstacles, is allowed to generalized you're allowed to be judgmental? get you head out of your ass dude. you can't relate, and thus you prove his point.

[lastrada52]

@LDoubleUTelevision - Your explanation LDoubleUTelevision I can agree with respectfully. However,I did not "sadly" misinterpreted what Miles Davis said. My interpretation is still the one I think average white listeners are going to make based on the words Miles chose to use. You heard them differently because you have more musical insight. Your explanation is viable. I just wish for the average jazz listener, Miles made himself a little more clear -- the way you have.

@lastrada52

Sadly you totally misinterpreted what Miles Davis said. I'm 100% sure Miles knew about the white talent in music from classical to jazz to pop. But what he said was some of the white audience in the US thinks he just woke up with talent, and he's just saying he had to work just as hard as Mozart or Bach to be as great as he is. Miles may have felt like a talented jazz musician is just as great as a talented classical one, but naively some people think differently.

@ichibanski8 - I would say it to Miles' face if it were possible. I think Miles would understand what I meant. Which obviously you haven't. What I said is fact & it's documented. "White people don't get it?" What does that mean Miles? Elaborate a little. He didn't. I cited examples why it's not true. Miles had Joni Mitchell records in his collection -- his children admitted this in an interview. Maybe she got it? If Miles is allowed to generalize -- then I can be judgemental.

@lastrada52 i would love to see you say that to miles to his face. maybe you don't know what you're talking about and shouldn't make uninformed judgmental statements like that.
