“My mommas good lookin my daddy’s rich and I can play the blues just fine” - music isn’t always about hardships it’s about telling an exciting story

[Bible-Black_]

Seeing Miles' disdain and uninterest in being interviewed makes me like him even more.

[c.ivanalvarez]

The mind of a genius is the hardest thing to understand.

[MIIRAPOSA]

This interviewer has my fucking jaw on the floor, WHAT the HELL are these lines of questioning? Holy shit

[alhfgsp]

When speaking he doesn't feel the need to share more than he feels is necessary, just like in his music. Exactly what is needed, no more no less.

Miles was impatient with stupid or uninspired questions or interviewers, but he was actually very kind and supportive to his bandmates, with a very sharp sense of humor.

Alchemist with Earl Sweatshirt brought me to this gem of an interview of Miles Davis (13:05 for those familiar).

[tonyrogers]

Unless I misunderstood, Miles didn’t ask to be interviewed. They asked him. So you got what you asked for. Genuine Miles.

Best interview ever.
Not the interviewer.

Puts it all in place shuts dow. The trivial bs

[jfrsnjhnsn]

"Who should we get to interview Miles Davis?"
"THE WHITEST MAN WE CAN

[Glenn-hmsb]

Anyone who is an amateur musician who has written some songs, and who listen to his music.. No words can expain it. This must be the best interview ever by a musician.

[Stobert]

So happy they put this together back in the day for people to enjoy forever

[BruceGauthier-gy]

Who is cooler than Miles Davis?
No one.

“My father’s rich, my mama’s good looking and I can play the blues.” 👏

[jeffdawson]

Innovator supreme, whose innovations are still inspiring. He invented genres, and a way of playing that changed the instrument.

"sounds like a voice. Sounds like a human voice". Amazing man. This is masculinity without pretext. Manliness without macho. He captures and shares.
