Miles quotes • We’re not going to play the blues anymore. Let the white folks play the blues. They got ‘em, so they can keep ‘em. • If they act too hip, you know they can’t play shit. • I don’t care if a dude is purple with green breath as long as he can swing. • At least one day out of the year all musicians should just put their instruments down, and give thanks to Duke Ellington. • Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.
Cool Jazz-Miles (Prince of Darkness ) set out to write music that challenged the dominance of bebop and hard bop.
