Miles Davis on Leading (his band, but it applies to you, too)

Fri 01/30/09

[Miles Davis] never told anyone what to play, but would say, ‘Man, you don’t need to do that.’
— Cannonball Adderley

    the Miles Davis documentary is really amazing… Herbie Hancock talks about how Miles would say ever increasingly non-intuitive things to him like, “i pay you to practice onstage.” and “quit playing 3rds and 7ths.” amazing.
