Just call me Miles Davis. It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it. Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself I'll play it and tell you what it is later. I was minding my own business when something says to me, "you ought to blow trumpet." I have just been trying ever since. A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it. For me, music and life are all about style. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life. I never thought that the music called "jazz" was ever meant to reach just a small group of people, or become a museum thing locked under glass like all other dead things that were once considered artistic. Don't play what's there, play what's not there. It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it. Do not fear mistakes. There are none. Jazz music has got to have that thing. You have to be born with it. You can't even buy it. If you could buy it, they'd have it at the next Newport festival. The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas. A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
