"...Look. Miles changed the world. More than once. That's true you know. Birth of the cool was first. Then when it all went wrong Miles called all the children home with Walkin'. He just got up there and blew it and put it on an LP and all over the world they stopped in their tracks when they heard it. They stopped what they were doing and they just listened and it was never the same after that. Just never the same."
"What is so incredible about what Miles does is whoever comes after him, whenever, wherever, they have to take him into consideration. They have to pass him to get in front. He laid it out there and you cant avoid it. It's not just the horn. It's a concept. It's a life support system for a whole world. And it's complete in itself like all the treaures have always been."
-Ralph J. Gleason, Original Bitches Brew Liner Notes.
Amen.
