I think every Negro over fifty should get a medal for putting up with all that crap.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

That was my gift . . . having the ability to put certain guys together that would create a chemistry and then letting them go; letting them play what they knew, and above it.

I've come close to matching the feeling of that night in 1944 in music, when I first heard Diz and Bird, but I've never got there. . . . I'm always looking for it, listening and feeling for it, though, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play everyday.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

It takes a long time to sound like yourself.

We don't play to be seen. I'm addicted to music, not audiences.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

...people will go for anythin...

...people will go for anything they don't understand if it's got enough hype. They want to be hip, want always to be in on the new thing so they don't look unhip. White people are especially like that, particularly when a black person is doing something they don't understand...That's what I thought was happening when Ornette hit town.

My future starts when I wake up every morning.

Some day I'm gonna call me up on the phone, so when I answer, I can tell myself to shut up.

There are no wrong notes in jazz: only notes in the wrong places.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

Anybody can play. The note is...

Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.

What's swinging in words? If a guy makes you pat your foot and if you feel it down your back, you don't have to ask anybody if that's good music or not. You can always feel it.

You can't play anything on a horn that Louis Armstrong hasn't played

With "We Are The World," I can't even eat when I watch that on television. If I'm eatin' some food, I have to put it down. I feel very strongly about that.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

I've always told the musician...

I've always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that's where great art and music happens.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

Sometimes [playing free] doesn't happen, because maybe a guy's wife'll come in, you know, and his ego will catch him. If everybody's completely just straight-without any old ladies over here, a fourth of whisky over there; if it's balanced right, it'll come off. It has to be. But when you get egos involved with playing free, you can't do it.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

Jazz musicians are so comfortable. The reason they can't do what we do is because they're so comfortable doin' what they do.

Miles Davis 141 quotes

Audiences - they like colour,...

Audiences - they like colour, you know. I can go out there wearing a red suit, man, and they'll say I'm out of sight ... I think they should be educated; you should always drop something on an audience ... When you get in front of an audience, you should try to give 'em something. After all, they're there looking at you like this. You can't go out and give 'em nothing.

I've gotten hernias from drummers when they drop tempo.

It's like swimmin' without warmin' up, yuo know what I mean? So [cackles] we use the drum machine, and we take it out.
