Now is a good time, 10 years ago would have been a good time, and 10 years from now it will still be a good time to see a dynamic, entertaining movie that's wall-to-wall Miles Davis where the music will hopefully spark some desire to know more about the man. ↗

If Miles Davis hadn't died it would have been interesting to do an album with him, but there wasn't much else that would have got me into the studio... although Herbie Hancock has just been in touch about doing something and that would be an interesting combination. ↗

Miles Davis turned his back to the audience when he came out on stage, and he offended people. But, he wasn't there to entertain; he was all about the music. I kind of do that. ↗

Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing. ↗

Miles Davis was a master. In every phase of his career, he understood that this music was a tribute to the African muse. ↗

Miles Davis was doing something inherently African, something that has to do with all forms of American music, not just jazz. ↗
