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.
