Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:25,843 --> 00:00:28,505
With music you want
to penetrate the listener.
2
00:00:28,521 --> 00:00:31,183
Penetrate to the point
where you reach...
3
00:00:32,525 --> 00:00:34,516
what Miles Davis used to call...
4
00:00:35,194 --> 00:00:36,855
spiritual orgasm.
5
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:41,694
That's bullshit.
6
00:00:42,368 --> 00:00:45,701
See, that's all part of just
the Miles Davis myth.
7
00:00:46,372 --> 00:00:48,932
Miles Davis was trying
to make some money.
8
00:00:49,042 --> 00:00:53,706
Miles Davis was so great,
to see him grovel before...
9
00:00:54,714 --> 00:00:59,047
these commercial arenas by the end
of his life was really very difficult.
10
00:00:59,384 --> 00:01:01,716
So people had to say,
"Oh no, no, Miles didn't sell out...
11
00:01:02,721 --> 00:01:05,713
he's moving ahead."
12
00:02:22,298 --> 00:02:26,291
I haven't heard myself play
in the 1940's or 50's...
13
00:02:27,303 --> 00:02:29,294
in forty years.
14
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,632
You know, having gone back
to listen to myself again.
15
00:02:34,978 --> 00:02:36,878
Miles, what are you gonna
open with now...
16
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:38,641
what are you gonna play fiirst?
17
00:02:39,315 --> 00:02:43,979
So What. Miles has laryngitis so
I have to interpret his whispering.
18
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,311
The great Miles Davis Quintet,
here they are.
19
00:03:06,675 --> 00:03:09,667
It might have a little
more resonance, a little more...
20
00:03:10,679 --> 00:03:12,670
fullness and brighter.
21
00:04:01,395 --> 00:04:05,729
But since they have synthesizers
and electric instruments...
22
00:04:06,067 --> 00:04:09,059
you can hear those
better than acoustic.
23
00:04:10,404 --> 00:04:12,395
So musicians learn a lotfaster.
24
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:35,251
What happened was
I walked into the studio...
25
00:04:35,595 --> 00:04:38,587
and I looked around for the acoustic
piano and I didn't see one.
26
00:04:39,933 --> 00:04:42,925
So I just kinda waited around
and I thought...
27
00:04:46,273 --> 00:04:48,264
"What does Miles want me
to play?"
28
00:04:49,943 --> 00:04:51,604
So I asked him, I says...
29
00:04:51,944 --> 00:04:53,605
"Miles, what do you want me
to play?"
30
00:04:53,946 --> 00:04:55,607
He says,
"Play that over there."
31
00:04:55,948 --> 00:04:59,941
And I looked over in the corner,
there was a Fender Rhodes electric piano.
32
00:05:00,953 --> 00:05:04,286
And so I thought,
"He wants me to play that toy?"
33
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,952
Mind you, I had never played
the Fender Rhodes piano.
34
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:14,622
So I turned the thing on, and...
35
00:05:16,969 --> 00:05:19,301
I played a chord on it.
36
00:05:20,973 --> 00:05:24,534
And to my great surprise,
I thought it sounded beautiful.
37
00:05:24,643 --> 00:05:27,976
I loved the sound of it.
It was rich, it was mellow...
38
00:05:29,315 --> 00:05:31,305
and it was a nice kind
of blending sound.
39
00:05:45,330 --> 00:05:47,662
For my fiirst six months in the band,
I did play piano.
40
00:05:47,999 --> 00:05:49,990
There was no electric instruments.
41
00:05:50,335 --> 00:05:52,997
And then Miles threw one
of these in front of me.
42
00:06:22,866 --> 00:06:24,766
I actually didn't...
it was something new to me...
43
00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:27,428
and I would come across
an instrument like this...
44
00:06:27,537 --> 00:06:31,200
that kind of sounded like that.
I thought...
45
00:06:33,210 --> 00:06:35,201
"What is this?"
I didn't know what it was.
46
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:38,780
I didn't quite know what to do with it.
But he was hearing something...
47
00:06:38,882 --> 00:06:41,544
which he didn't describe
to me too much...
48
00:06:41,885 --> 00:06:43,876
he justwanted me to play it.
49
00:06:51,894 --> 00:06:53,885
And then I got turned on to...
50
00:06:55,564 --> 00:06:58,226
these little modules that
you could distort the sound with.
51
00:07:06,242 --> 00:07:10,235
Miles was going to
rock/bass/electric sounds...
52
00:07:10,579 --> 00:07:14,913
towards the elements that were more
in pop music and rock music.
53
00:07:42,444 --> 00:07:46,107
That reverb that the...
the tape delay.
54
00:07:47,449 --> 00:07:50,782
Bitches Brew was the album
that when I fiirst heard it...
55
00:07:51,453 --> 00:07:54,445
I thought I was going to climb the walls
and climb across the ceiling.
56
00:07:59,461 --> 00:08:03,124
I was on the floor beating my hands
and feet, I could hardly take it.
57
00:08:03,798 --> 00:08:05,288
It was so intense.
58
00:08:09,470 --> 00:08:11,461
It was everything
that I had imagined...
59
00:08:12,473 --> 00:08:16,136
some kind offuture music to be.
It was...
60
00:08:18,312 --> 00:08:20,644
everything that I had hoped
to hear was...
61
00:08:21,648 --> 00:08:22,979
revealed in Bitches Brew.
62
00:08:30,991 --> 00:08:33,653
When Bitches Brew came out
I listened to it over and over.
63
00:08:34,328 --> 00:08:35,989
I listened to it...
64
00:08:38,332 --> 00:08:39,993
stone-cold sober.
65
00:08:45,338 --> 00:08:50,332
I listened to it a little, with a little
change in my consciousness.
66
00:08:56,682 --> 00:08:59,674
I listened to it with a great change
in my consciousness.
67
00:09:01,354 --> 00:09:05,347
In fact I completely altered
my consciousness to try to like it.
68
00:09:08,361 --> 00:09:10,352
I tried to like it
because it was him.
69
00:09:10,696 --> 00:09:14,029
And I couldn't believe
that it was what I heard.
70
00:09:14,367 --> 00:09:19,361
Because it was just
these formous long pieces...
71
00:09:19,705 --> 00:09:21,696
that seemed
to go nowhere.
72
00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:29,703
After a while I felt like somebody had
my hand tied down to a table...
73
00:09:30,048 --> 00:09:34,610
and was slowly driving nails through it,
there was nothing I could do about it...
74
00:09:34,719 --> 00:09:38,052
except listen to the hammer
hit the nail. Boom!
75
00:09:39,057 --> 00:09:41,389
Not again. Bam!
76
00:09:43,395 --> 00:09:45,056
No, not that.
77
00:09:49,901 --> 00:09:51,892
To Stanley Crouch
and people like that...
78
00:09:52,237 --> 00:09:54,228
they need to be reminded
that it takes courage...
79
00:09:54,573 --> 00:09:56,905
to leave all of
your security blanket behind...
80
00:09:57,242 --> 00:09:58,903
and jump without a parachute.
81
00:10:23,267 --> 00:10:25,167
This is why I adore Miles.
82
00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:29,171
Because he would not tap-dance
for anybody, like Sammy Davis, Jr....
83
00:10:29,273 --> 00:10:32,504
with all respect to Sammy Davis, Jr.
and Michael Jackson...
84
00:10:32,610 --> 00:10:35,943
they're more like entertainers.
Miles Davis was not an entertainer.
85
00:10:36,947 --> 00:10:39,939
He was a seriously
brutal artist, musician...
86
00:10:41,951 --> 00:10:44,613
who would not comply...
87
00:10:45,955 --> 00:10:48,617
with the plastic system.
88
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:26,654
I do changes,
but I can't help it, you know.
89
00:11:27,663 --> 00:11:29,654
Not that I'm a genius.
90
00:11:30,666 --> 00:11:32,657
But it's just that I can't help it.
91
00:11:33,335 --> 00:11:36,668
I play it one way so long
I just have to change my way...
92
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:41,332
in order to give it to you.
So you'll like it.
93
00:11:46,682 --> 00:11:50,015
So he got rid of the ltalian suits,
and he started wearing...
94
00:11:51,353 --> 00:11:55,346
a different kind of clothing.
And it all happened at the same time.
95
00:11:59,194 --> 00:12:02,424
Psychologically I think
the people who put it to him...
96
00:12:02,530 --> 00:12:05,522
that he needed to change
if he was tired of playing clubs...
97
00:12:05,866 --> 00:12:10,530
four concerts a night, for very
little money and very little audience.
98
00:12:11,205 --> 00:12:13,196
I think it was like...
99
00:12:14,542 --> 00:12:16,874
Clide Davis, Mr. Clide Davis,
Mr. Bill Graham...
100
00:12:17,545 --> 00:12:19,536
and of course Betty Davis.
101
00:12:43,236 --> 00:12:47,229
She was this young,
beautiful Black woman that...
102
00:12:47,907 --> 00:12:52,571
with this fiire,
spirit and freshness...
103
00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:56,242
that kind of opened Miles' eyes up.
104
00:28:18,313 --> 00:28:20,543
Wayne Shorter, Herbie,
Ron, Tony.
105
00:28:20,649 --> 00:28:23,311
And then you put out this record
which is essentially a jam session...
106
00:28:23,652 --> 00:28:26,883
and it becomes the top selling jazz
record of all time at the time.
107
00:28:26,988 --> 00:28:30,321
On top of that you get,
you do the Fillmore...
108
00:28:30,659 --> 00:28:32,889
and you're on
the Newsweek magazine...
109
00:28:32,994 --> 00:28:35,656
and within the space
of seven months...
110
00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:38,822
from March, April, May, June,
July, August, six months...
111
00:28:40,502 --> 00:28:42,163
he played the lsle ofWight.
112
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,173
Half a million people, minimum.
Playing opposite Hendrix...
113
00:28:50,178 --> 00:28:53,738
all those pop acts at the time who
were on the scene at that moment.
114
00:28:53,847 --> 00:28:57,408
For Miles Davis that's as high as any
jazz musician ever got in this world...
115
00:28:57,518 --> 00:29:01,079
a guy playing that kind of music.
I mean that was the mountain top.
116
00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:02,849
Isle ofWight was...
117
00:29:04,191 --> 00:29:09,185
a pure result of consciousness
revolution music.
118
00:29:10,698 --> 00:29:12,359
"Hell no, we won't go
to Vietnam"...
119
00:29:13,033 --> 00:29:15,695
and "We shall overcome",
which was a...
120
00:29:16,036 --> 00:29:18,368
the 60's was probably
the most important decade...
121
00:29:19,707 --> 00:29:21,368
Iate 60's early 70's...
122
00:29:22,042 --> 00:29:25,705
was the most important decade
in the 20th century. Why?
123
00:29:26,547 --> 00:29:30,448
Because it gave birth to
questioning authority...
124
00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:33,883
if it's not enlightened by God.
Are you listening, George Bush?
125
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:05,411
You know, we said "Hi"...
126
00:30:06,753 --> 00:30:12,418
but I don't think Miles
really fiirst knew what to do with...
127
00:30:14,259 --> 00:30:16,591
a woman except
drag her into his lair.
128
00:30:22,768 --> 00:30:25,669
Folk music and jazz occupied
the same room at different times...
129
00:30:25,771 --> 00:30:28,001
and there was
an overlap sometimes.
130
00:30:28,106 --> 00:30:30,438
The point we differed on
was electronic music.
131
00:30:30,776 --> 00:30:34,109
And I already went through this
in the folk circles...
132
00:30:35,113 --> 00:30:37,775
Iike Pete Segert crying
when Bob plugged in.
133
00:30:38,784 --> 00:30:43,118
People are afraid that
they can't make that change.
134
00:30:43,455 --> 00:30:46,447
Not everybody is fluid
and changeable...
135
00:30:46,792 --> 00:30:49,453
I am, Miles is,
some people thrive on change.
136
00:30:49,794 --> 00:30:54,458
But every time you change you have to be
ready to experience massive rejection.
137
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,961
Listen a minute, will you?
138
00:30:58,302 --> 00:31:00,634
Will you listen a minute!
139
00:31:02,306 --> 00:31:06,868
Now listen, a lot of people who get up
here and sing, I know it's fun...
140
00:31:06,977 --> 00:31:09,309
it's a lot offun.
It's fun for me...
141
00:31:09,980 --> 00:31:12,312
I get my feelings off
through my music.
142
00:31:12,650 --> 00:31:17,314
But you've got your life wrapped up
in it. Give us some respect.
143
00:31:21,325 --> 00:31:24,317
Most of music, pop music, it's like
they get these formula chords...
144
00:31:24,662 --> 00:31:27,653
or people like these chords,
and so they play them ad nauseum.
145
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:35,001
Music is when you pull
the chords from your inner core...
146
00:31:35,338 --> 00:31:37,670
whether they sound weird
to people or not.
147
00:31:38,007 --> 00:31:42,341
And anyone adventuresome is doing that,
and Miles certainly was adventuresome.
148
00:31:45,181 --> 00:31:50,517
We were human and they let
everybody after that do their thing.
149
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,031
Everybody was interested
in playing with Miles...
150
00:32:14,376 --> 00:32:18,938
because he was the number one band.
The lsle ofWight, like I said...
151
00:32:19,047 --> 00:32:21,379
that was about
my third concert with the band.
152
00:32:22,384 --> 00:32:26,377
That music was a transitional music.
153
00:32:27,389 --> 00:32:31,723
That was the music he had been
playing in the band before.
154
00:32:33,395 --> 00:32:36,387
Now once I joined the band
we were on our way...
155
00:32:36,732 --> 00:32:38,723
to play different music.
156
00:32:44,406 --> 00:32:47,306
I was coming from
a totally acoustic, you know...
157
00:32:47,408 --> 00:32:51,401
I hadn't dealt with electricity.
158
00:32:52,747 --> 00:32:56,410
Initially, electricity, well that's
something you getfrom...
159
00:32:57,919 --> 00:33:02,583
But in reality,
electricity is life itself...
160
00:33:02,924 --> 00:33:04,585
so how can I say...
161
00:33:04,926 --> 00:33:11,263
that I'm not into electricity when
I'm electric, we're all are electric.
162
00:33:14,936 --> 00:33:17,928
Miles didn't change through
the years, he got better I think...
163
00:33:18,272 --> 00:33:20,604
but as far as musically
he didn't change...
164
00:33:21,275 --> 00:33:24,607
things around him changed.
The world changed.
165
00:33:25,278 --> 00:33:27,508
Ok, so what're you gonna do?
The world changes...
166
00:33:27,614 --> 00:33:33,610
you're gonna still wear the clothes
that you wore back in the 40's.
167
00:33:33,954 --> 00:33:37,287
You know, you keep up.
So he just kept up, that's all.
168
00:33:53,974 --> 00:33:56,966
Most of what we did was
an improvisation, it was a jam.
169
00:33:58,311 --> 00:34:01,644
Miles had certain themes
that he would bring in...
170
00:34:02,982 --> 00:34:06,315
that would establish
a tempo and a groove.
171
00:34:09,321 --> 00:34:11,881
And then he may have some
melodic themes on the top...
172
00:34:11,991 --> 00:34:14,323
and then he would just
set a mood.
173
00:34:26,005 --> 00:34:28,906
I think there's a certain point where
you have so many people out there...
174
00:34:29,008 --> 00:34:31,340
that it no longer means
anything in a way, I don't know.
175
00:34:35,014 --> 00:34:38,006
We got on stage and
we started playing.
176
00:34:38,350 --> 00:34:44,015
And you're this very small event in this
huge space of things that are going on.
177
00:34:46,190 --> 00:34:49,182
And the sound is coming
from all over the place...
178
00:34:50,528 --> 00:34:54,521
and so there's a sort of detachment that
happens sometime in those live concerts.
179
00:34:55,533 --> 00:34:58,866
That's differentfrom
the more intimate venues...
180
00:34:59,203 --> 00:35:01,535
but it was a stunning
sight to see that.
181
00:35:05,376 --> 00:35:08,709
As far as I was concerned, every time
Miles put the horn to his lips...
182
00:35:09,047 --> 00:35:10,708
it was a great event.
183
00:35:14,052 --> 00:35:18,386
The bass player has a tremendous
responsibility I think in the music...
184
00:35:20,724 --> 00:35:25,388
to create a center, a focus, within
the music that Miles was creating.
185
00:35:27,397 --> 00:35:29,729
But how you do that
can change tremendously from...
186
00:35:30,067 --> 00:35:32,399
one musical situation
to another.
187
00:35:33,070 --> 00:35:36,062
What I did with Miles was influenced
by the things that I heard...
188
00:35:36,740 --> 00:35:38,731
around me at those times.
189
00:35:39,076 --> 00:35:41,408
WhatJack Bruce was doing
with The Cream...
190
00:35:41,745 --> 00:35:45,078
whatJimi was doing
with his band, you know.
191
00:35:46,083 --> 00:35:49,644
And of course, there was also
the influence of James Brown's music...
192
00:35:49,753 --> 00:35:52,415
and a lot of the other things
that were going on at that time.
193
00:36:27,623 --> 00:36:30,956
Miles' music was crossing over
there at that point.
194
00:36:31,961 --> 00:36:34,293
So he was reaching
a larger audience.
195
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:38,622
And a lot of the rock musicians
were really also...
196
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:41,291
getting turned on
to Miles and really...
197
00:36:41,970 --> 00:36:44,962
it was a great meeting
of musical cultures.
198
00:36:49,811 --> 00:36:51,472
The drummer was the anchor...
199
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,472
the function of laying down the groove,
especially in that electric period.
200
00:36:56,151 --> 00:37:00,815
Laying down the groove
and also embellishing the groove.
201
00:37:02,490 --> 00:37:05,482
Keeping a steady pulse,
but changing it, shifting it...
202
00:37:07,162 --> 00:37:11,496
making subtle changes in it.
And providing the...
203
00:37:14,169 --> 00:37:16,160
the fiire,
the stoke in the fiire.
204
00:37:17,504 --> 00:37:18,835
Putting the heat on.
205
00:37:21,175 --> 00:37:24,838
Putting colors on top
of what I was doing.
206
00:37:42,029 --> 00:37:44,361
The fiirst thing that I played
at the lsle ofWight...
207
00:37:45,699 --> 00:37:48,361
was a "cu�ca",
it's called "cu�ca".
208
00:37:49,369 --> 00:37:51,360
And actually Miles
used to love this sound.
209
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:55,372
We used to play
off each other.
210
00:37:57,376 --> 00:38:00,038
When he went...
I went...
211
00:38:02,715 --> 00:38:05,377
And I know he liked it.
Even though he never told me...
212
00:38:05,718 --> 00:38:08,050
but I know he liked it.
213
00:38:12,391 --> 00:38:14,382
We flew to the site...
214
00:38:15,061 --> 00:38:19,054
and it was very incredible
to look, to see all the people...
215
00:38:19,732 --> 00:38:21,393
on the roads and everything.
216
00:38:21,734 --> 00:38:26,068
Off the roads they were like ants,
it was incredible.
217
00:38:26,739 --> 00:38:29,071
And we were right there
in the middle of everything.
218
00:38:30,743 --> 00:38:32,734
Before us I think
it was Tiny Tim.
219
00:38:42,921 --> 00:38:46,254
And then they announced
Miles Davis and band...
220
00:38:46,925 --> 00:38:50,258
and then I just walked
in on stage...
221
00:38:51,263 --> 00:38:55,256
and that was it, we played that
beautiful concert that was incredible.
222
00:38:56,268 --> 00:39:00,932
And it's incredible that
I can remember that because...
223
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:03,601
I was pretty out at that time.
224
00:39:17,788 --> 00:39:19,779
"Are you in a trance?"
That's a good question.
225
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,462
This is the limit of what
two hands can do on the piano.
226
00:39:32,803 --> 00:39:36,136
And I go into this other place
which you might term a trance.
227
00:39:36,807 --> 00:39:39,799
You can actually
do things you hear...
228
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:42,806
that are so unrelated
to your instrument...
229
00:39:43,147 --> 00:39:46,139
that they are frightening
to even yourself.
230
00:39:57,994 --> 00:40:01,987
Miles probably knew that I didn't even
want to get near an electric piano...
231
00:40:03,666 --> 00:40:07,329
but he might have fiigured that
if I wanted to play with him...
232
00:40:09,672 --> 00:40:12,334
I'd show up and I'd play
whatever was on stage.
233
00:40:13,343 --> 00:40:18,337
So when Chick was in the band,
Chick was playing a Fender piano.
234
00:40:18,681 --> 00:40:22,674
And when Miles heard I was coming
they had to get a second instrument...
235
00:40:23,019 --> 00:40:26,682
so that was an organ. I wasn't sure
which one I hated more.
236
00:40:33,528 --> 00:40:35,860
What I thought I was bringing
to the band was energy.
237
00:40:36,865 --> 00:40:39,527
I wasn't bringing music to the band,
I wasn't bringing...
238
00:40:41,203 --> 00:40:45,537
any special cleverness.
Or I wasn't writing material.
239
00:40:46,208 --> 00:40:50,542
But energy, energy and the quality
of energy is what makes music...
240
00:40:53,882 --> 00:40:55,213
powerful.
241
00:40:57,552 --> 00:40:59,213
The funkiness and...
242
00:41:00,222 --> 00:41:04,215
the sort of primal stuff that
he wanted was fiinally coming out.
243
00:41:07,896 --> 00:41:13,231
People who listen to Miles can listen to
the same tracks over and over and over.
244
00:41:15,903 --> 00:41:19,896
Doesn't matter how, even if it's a bad
night, you're listening to this sound.
245
00:41:22,076 --> 00:41:23,737
But what is that, I think was his...
246
00:41:25,746 --> 00:41:26,735
his...
247
00:41:29,417 --> 00:41:31,408
that's the trance,
I mean he was...
248
00:41:33,087 --> 00:41:36,750
doing something a trumpet wasn't
supposed to be able to actually do.
249
00:41:37,425 --> 00:41:42,089
Some effect to your body when
you listened was being achieved.
250
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:52,602
If you see a band
who's working on this thing...
251
00:41:53,606 --> 00:41:55,597
and they're all willing
to be ignorant of it...
252
00:41:55,942 --> 00:41:57,933
even though their heads
are very together.
253
00:41:58,945 --> 00:42:01,277
Every second they're willing
themselves to be ignorant...
254
00:42:01,948 --> 00:42:04,610
of exactly what
it is that's coming next...
255
00:42:05,952 --> 00:42:07,613
then that's something to see.
256
00:42:09,289 --> 00:42:11,280
When I see Miles
play a note...
257
00:42:12,625 --> 00:42:18,621
how he comes at that note
is not on a CD, you know.
258
00:42:19,966 --> 00:42:23,629
I believe that on this little
37 minute fiilm...
259
00:42:24,971 --> 00:42:27,963
is a micro history lesson
in Jazz...
260
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,631
and it's just coming out
of Miles' horn.
261
00:42:31,977 --> 00:42:34,309
There are these little moments
when he's playing, there's even...
262
00:42:34,646 --> 00:42:36,978
a Dixieland moment in the thing.
263
00:42:37,983 --> 00:42:43,319
And when I heard that I thought,
"This is compressed into this one set."
264
00:42:44,323 --> 00:42:47,656
People are hearing almost where
the whole thing came from...
265
00:42:47,993 --> 00:42:50,985
where everything that's happened
until that moment in time...
266
00:42:51,663 --> 00:42:54,655
came from,
including all the modern stuff.
267
01:18:14,396 --> 01:18:16,728
I can tell by the reaction
that it was a triumph...
268
01:18:17,399 --> 01:18:20,391
for Miles Davis to play in probably
one of the biggestfestivals...
269
01:18:21,736 --> 01:18:23,067
along with Woodstock...
270
01:18:23,405 --> 01:18:26,397
and converted
a lot of people into...
271
01:18:27,409 --> 01:18:28,740
multidimensional consciousness.
272
01:18:29,744 --> 01:18:31,405
Isle ofWight is...
273
01:18:32,414 --> 01:18:33,904
is a masterpiece.
274
01:18:40,255 --> 01:18:43,247
If you had something that was
a tribute to Miles, what would it be?
275
01:18:44,259 --> 01:18:46,591
I spent the days after his death...
276
01:18:46,928 --> 01:18:49,589
doing a portrait of him,
which I frequently do when...
277
01:18:49,930 --> 01:18:51,921
I lose somebody
I cared for.
278
01:18:54,435 --> 01:18:56,767
Wayne took a look
at the painting and he said...
279
01:18:57,438 --> 01:18:59,429
"Well, you painted him
kind of blue."
280
01:19:09,617 --> 01:19:12,950
His skin tone, 'cause he had
that magnifiicent mahogany color.
281
01:19:15,623 --> 01:19:18,285
In my rendition of it
was kind of blue.
282
01:19:27,634 --> 01:19:29,295
More sketches of Spain.
283
01:19:37,477 --> 01:19:41,470
And then, he'd always
fiind like a resting place.
284
01:19:57,997 --> 01:20:00,329
You know, so it's...
285
01:20:01,668 --> 01:20:04,660
He would take you on a journey
whether you wanted to or not...
286
01:20:05,004 --> 01:20:08,666
if you listen, Miles was the epitome
of like, what he used to say...
287
01:20:09,007 --> 01:20:10,668
"lf you listen, I got you.
288
01:20:12,344 --> 01:20:14,335
All it takes is for you
to just listen a little bit...
289
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,012
and I'll take you
to a different place."
290
01:20:20,686 --> 01:20:26,022
Play a tribute to Miles by myself,
without hearing his sound...
291
01:20:28,694 --> 01:20:31,026
it's a little sad, but...
292
01:20:33,031 --> 01:20:34,692
I could go let's say...
293
01:20:38,704 --> 01:20:40,194
I could go...
294
01:26:22,538 --> 01:26:24,199
I couldn't pick a piece...
295
01:26:25,207 --> 01:26:29,871
because Miles is all of the pieces.
It's his interpretation...
296
01:26:32,882 --> 01:26:34,542
of whatever elements...
297
01:26:35,884 --> 01:26:37,215
he has to deal with...
298
01:26:37,886 --> 01:26:42,220
that is Miles' genius.
299
01:26:43,892 --> 01:26:46,554
So to me there isn't
necessarily a particular piece...
300
01:26:47,562 --> 01:26:49,462
that was written before.
301
01:26:49,564 --> 01:26:51,225
Whatever is written now...
302
01:26:52,233 --> 01:26:54,895
to me,
is what Miles' was about.
