He assembled some of the best jazz talent that ever lived and gave them their big breaks. He had a exceptional ear.

Names that wont mean much to young fukkboys but:

*Cannonball Adderly
*Herbie Hancock
*Bill Evans
*Red Garland
*Philly Joe Jones
*John Coltrane !!!
*Paul Chambers
*Ron Carter
*Wayne Shorter
*Tony Williams
*Joe Zawinul
*Chick Corea
*John McLaughlin

and plenty more all came to prominence under Miles direction. Plus he was the original #HardonCacs founding member. I suggest everyone read his autobiography. It sheds light on the man

Miles was to the trumpet what
hendrix was to the guitar.
the man was a Master.

well he'll tell you himself

At the table where I was sitting, a politician's wife said some silly shyt about jazz, like "Are we supporting this art form just because it's here in this country, and is it art in its truest form, or are we just being blasé and ignoring jazz because it comes from here and not from Europe, and it comes from black people?"

This came from out of the blue. I don't like questions like that because they're just questions from someone who's trying to sound intelligent, when in fact they don't give a damn about it. I looked at her and said, "What is it? Jazz time or something? Why you ask me some shyt like that?"

So she said, "Well, you're a jazz musician, aren't you?"

So I said, "I'm a musician, that's all" [...] "Do you really want to know why jazz music isn't given the credit in this country?" [...] "Jazz is ignored here because the white man likes to win everything. White people like to see other white people win just like you do and they can't win when it comes to jazz and blues because black people created this. And so when we play in Europe, white people over there appreciate us because they know who did what and they will admit it. But most white Americans won't."

She looked at me and turned all red and shyt, and then she said, "Well, what have you done that's so important in your life? Why are you here?"

Now, I just hate shyt like this coming from someone who is ignorant, but who wants to be hip and has forced you into a situation where you're talking to them in this manner. She brought this on herself. So then I said, "Well, I changed music five or six times, so I guess that's what I've done and I guess I don't believe in playing just white compositions." I looked at her real cold and said, "Now, tell me what have you done of any importance other than being white, and that ain't important to me, so tell me what your claim to fame is?"

it's where that story about him asking nancy reagan what has she done besides fukk the president comes from, only it's true
