Miles Davis


Miles would have been 85 on Thursday. Jazz Video Guy's new short film stays in the electric Miles era to, with the help of Sonny Rollins and Gary Bartz, laud the "Picasso of Jazz." The filmmaker drops his meetings with Miles music below:

I love this. Miles was a special inspiration on my work. I interviewed him several times.
The first time I came to New York was for a Miles concert in 1971. It was the concert at the Fillmore East down in the Village. Like the fella said, it knocked my socks off. I went home and told myself that I had to get back to the city. It was an incredible time.
