Man...Miles is that DUDE. I've read a lot about him and I think more black men should read more about him. Regardless of his many flaws, he was a man of integrity and would never compromise his music. Always the trendsetter. Never sat on one style too long and was never afraid of musical exploration. He took a LOT of heat when he starting playing more funk/African rhythyms.
To me the best thing about him was he never cow-towed or buck danced for white folks, he was always undeniably black. In fact he said he he wanted to spend the last 10 minutes of his life with his hands around the neck of a white man.
which piece about him was that in

I dont know which quote is better, this one, or Charles Barron's.
At a 2002 rally in support of reparations for slavery, he said: “I want to go up to the closest white person and say, ‘You can't understand this, it's a black thing’ and then slap him, just for my mental health.”

Thank you!
Yeah, "bytches Brew", "Birth of The Cool" and "Kind of Blue" are among my favorites. As well as "Sketches of Spain", "Miles Smiles" and "On The Corner".
I also like his 80's output such as "You're Under Arrest".

Yeah, that's back when Prince had that New Year's Benefit at Paisley Park in 87'. That's a legendary performance.
