This is the kind of album that gives you faith in the future of music. It is not rock and roll, but it’s nothing stereotyped as jazz either.
Rolling Stone, 15 November 1969, on In a Silent Way By now I was using the wah-wah on my trumpet all the time so I could get closer to that voice Jimi had when he used a wah-wah on his guitar.
Miles: The Autobiography, with Quincy Troupe, 1989 In its current form, Miles’ music bubbles and boils like some gigantic cauldron.
Rolling Stone, 28 May 1970, on Bitches Brew Miles is a magician. When almost all of his contemporaries not only dismissed rock but R&B as somehow beneath their notice, Miles bought Sly Stone records and went to hear Jimi Hendrix.
Rolling Stone, 7 December 1972, on On the Corner Angry, dissociated, funky, and the best Davis music since Jack Johnson.
Consumer Guide, on Agharta, robertchristgau.com From 1975 until early 1980 I didn’t pick up my horn; for over four years, didn’t pick it up once.
