More quotes by Miles Davis
Somebody, my daughter or my wife, gave me a music box for Christmas. It plays My Funny Valentine on celeste, you know? So I had Bobby [Irving] just play Jean Pierre with the changes on celeste.
Miles Davis
I couldn't do What's Love Got To Do With It, Tina Turner because it wasn't the right tempo so I scratched it from the record. I wanted to do it about a year ago, but something happened.
Miles Davis
Everybody ought to listen to Benny [Carter]. He's a whole musical education.
Miles Davis
Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.
Miles Davis
Monk taught me more about music composition than anyone else on 52nd Street.
Miles Davis
Trane was the perfect saxophonist for Monk's music because of the space that Monk always used. Trane could fill up all that space with all them chords and sounds he was playing then.
Miles Davis
When kids don't learn about their own heritage in school, they just don't care about school... But you won't see it in the history books unless we get the power to write our own history and tell our story ourselves.
Miles Davis
The only reason to write a new song is because you're tired of the old ones.
Miles Davis
There are no wrong notes.
Miles Davis

Miles Davis
You should never be comfortable, man. Being comfortable fouled up a lot of musicians.
Miles Davis
What's swinging in words? If a guy makes you pat your foot and if you feel it down your back, you don't have to ask anybody if that's good music or not. You can always feel it.
Miles Davis
Always listen for what you can leave out.
Miles Davis
Drummers - sometimes they play and they listen. And that little listen takes a speck away from the right tempo.
Miles Davis
I began to realize that some of the things Ornette Coleman had said about things being played three or fours ways, independently of each other, were true because Bach had also composed that way.
Miles Davis
Bebop didn't have the humanity of Duke Ellington. It didn't even have that recognizable thing. Bird and Diz were great, fantastic, challenging — but they weren't sweet.
Miles Davis
If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if it's good or bad.
Miles Davis
All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal.
Miles Davis
You have to know 400 notes that you can play, then pick the right four.
Miles Davis
My ego only needs a good rhythm section
