Sortie ces jours-ci d'une compilation des faces Prestige ("Muted Miles") :

Chronique (mitigée) du livre sur Miles écrit par l'un de ses fils :

http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=29325

On page 115 we're told that Miles “didn't want to be another Satchmo,” which could be construed as an insult to Louis Armstrong. On the very next page, we learn that “another performer that Miles especially loved was Louis Armstrong.” He then goes on to praise Armstrong for three paragraphs

faut voir exactement le contexte, je ne comprend pas sa remarque, Miles ne voulait pas être un autre "Satchmo" dans le sens qu'il ne voulait pas être vu comme trop lisse face au blanc (il trouvait Satchmo trop consensuel)...

[Ayler]

Apprécier la musique d'Armstrong ne signifie nullement cautionner son attitude. Miles dit clairement ce qu'il pense des oncles Tom dans son autobiographie...

[impressions]

il me semble avoir une itw ou il disait qu'il n'avait pas envie d'etre le "rigolard" de service puis il faut voir le contexte les noirs étaient rejetés d'ou surement une blessure...de meme la polèmique ou il tournait le dos au public herbie hancock est clair a ce sujet il avait l'habitude de diriger l'orchestre ainsi.

Lonnie Liston Smith à propos de Miles :

What was it like working with Miles? "You know, Miles had a wah-wah pedal hooked up to his trumpet, so I hooked up a wah-wah pedal to the Fender Rhodes and that's how I got the Lonnie Liston Smith Cosmic Sound. Working with Miles was just unbelievable. I thought I'm really going to get into the Fender Rhodes with Miles, but Miles had had Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea playing Fender with him before and got tired of the sound.

"The Japanese had given Miles an electric organ. I said to Miles: 'Where's the Fender Rhodes piano?' Miles is very candid and said: 'I don't want to hear that BLEEP anymore, so you're playing that over there'. It was a Yamaha electric organ. I said: 'Miles, I don't know how to play that'. He said: 'Good, now I'll hear something different'. I asked if I could take it home and practice, he sad 'NO' . That's why Miles was such a genius. Miles paid you to be creative and spontaneous right on stage. He didn't want to hear what you had played in the past."

(...)

He then made an awesome what-might-have-been statement: "You never know who's going to influence you. People don't realise that if Jimi Hendrix had lived longer, he and Miles were going to go into the studio. Can you imagine what that would have done to the world. Miles used to say Jimi is a great jazz player, but he doesn't know it."

Don Cheadle's Miles Davis Bio-Pic On Track For '09 Production Start
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Oct 7, 2008

Forget reports of the demise of the long-talked-about Miles Davis film biography. Erin Davis tells us he's just finished reading the script for the feature that Don Cheadle plans to direct, with Cheadle himself starring as the mercurial music legend. "It was great, a great script," Davis enthuses. "They'll probably do some revisions on it and tighten it up, but maybe it can get started next year for a release in '10."

The project has already had a 17-year journey. Notes Davis, "We've been talking about it since he died in '91. At one point, Walter Yetnikoff was planning to do it with Wesley Snipes. Finally my cousin Vince [Wilburn Jr.] and Darryl Porter and I started taking it to studios on our own. We've seen successful bio-pics out there, and we wanted to do it. We hired a couple of writers and started the process."

As far as Cheadle's involvement, "Don is the only guy who is perfectly right for it," claims Erin, who plays golf with the actor. "We were really glad he wanted to direct it. He has a specific vision for it, and we're staying out of his way. We don't want too many cooks."

Erin's been cooking up goodies of his own. He's been busy of late dividing his time between producing Kyle Eastwood's next album, and helping launch "Kind of Blue: The 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition" box set of Miles' landmark album -- including a CD of alternate takes and live tracks, a 55-minute documentary film and memorabilia.

Next on the Miles reissue front, "We're talking about getting together compilations of board tapes and bootlegs," Erin reveals. "A lot of people have come forward with bootlegs. Carlos Santana has a whole lot on his own."
