Miles Davis Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Miles Davis:

Space music'd be really something... but they don't have no gravity up there. You couldn't have no downbeat!

A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.

Miles Davis

Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

Miles Davis

The music I was really listening to in 1968 was James Brown, the great guitar player Jimi Hendrix, and a new group... Sly and the Family Stone, led by Sly Stewart from San Francisco.

Miles Davis

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

Miles Davis

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

Miles Davis

Prince might be bringing that low sound back, because he has that double bass.

Miles Davis

Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.

Miles Davis

I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

Space music'd be really something... but they don't have no gravity up there. You couldn't have no downbeat!

The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas.

You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line... We're just going to have to go out there and work hard and blow people off the ball, and let our runners do what they do best.

Miles Davis

It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.

Miles Davis

When I'm playing, I'm never through. It's unfinished. I like to find a place to leave for someone else to finish it. That's where the high comes in.

Miles Davis

Don't play what's there, play what's not there.

Miles Davis

If you understood everything I say, you'd be me!

Miles Davis

Jimi Hendrix came from the blues, like me. We understood each other right away because of that. He was a great blues guitarist.

Miles Davis

Prince got some Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix and Sly in him, also, even Little Richard. He's a mixture of all those guys and Duke Ellington.

Miles Davis

When you do anything too long, you either wear it out or lose interest.
