I love Miles Davis.
That's an interesting quote but I understand him completely, from a musicians point of view.
Play what's not there.
hey urban- I dig him a lot, too. His music changed me. Peace to you.
Indeed!
...play what's not there.
I do so love the challenge of unpredictablility, the newness and the unknown!
Hi again Getzapped,
not able to do your meme today.
Will do it tomorrow. :-)
YES YES AND AGAIN YES!
Hi. I play piano, and I LOVE playing improvisationally. It's way too fun to be legal.
Great pic and quote!
mikim- you know he was!
susan- you seem like that type, I wish I could flow more like that. Whenever you get to it...
lp- right on! How fun is that?
Off to jury duty....
ahh miles. big fan of his highly underrated 70s period. get up with it, etc. if i remember correctly, doesn't this quote come from him as he tries to motivate a room full of classically-trained musicians during the sketches of spain sessions?
raindog- I'm not aware of such an event, but it sounds like something Miles would offer the stiffer group. They must have gotten it - because that is one heck of a piece of music. When I listen to those tunes, I feel it in the pit of my belly. Bitches Brew is another favorite. Thanks for stopping by.
Fabulous. Reminds me of Louis Armstrong saying: "We all do do - re - mi. But you have got to find the other notes yourself."
I like trumpet
My elder son plays tuba
reth- you said it so well!
cergie- the tuba- WOW!
