Miles' Sessions Were Not Typical Of Anybody

I Think I Was Supposed To Play Jazz.

A Jazz Musician Is Not A Jazz Musician When He Or She Is Eating Dinner Or When He Or She Is With His Parents Or Spouse Or Neighbors. He's Above All A Human Being . . . The True Artform Is Being A Human Being.

It's Part Of My Nature. I Get Excited When Trying Out New Stuff, Whether It Be An Idea Or Equipment. It Stimulates My Juices.

The Value Of Music Is To Be Able To Play One Note At The Right Time In The Right Way.

When A Human Being Is Oppressed, The Natural Tendency Is To Feel Anger. Jazz Is A Response To Oppression That Is Not Bullets And Blood. Jazz Is The Expression Of Harmony ... And At The Same Time Of Hope And Freedom.
