Press

“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.”

Lester BangsRolling Stone, 15 November 1969, on In a Silent Way (opens in a new tab)

“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 DavisMiles: The Autobiography, with Quincy Troupe, 1989

“In its current form, Miles’ music bubbles and boils like some gigantic cauldron.”

Langdon WinnerRolling 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.”

Ralph J. GleasonRolling Stone, 7 December 1972, on On the Corner (opens in a new tab)

“Angry, dissociated, funky, and the best Davis music since Jack Johnson.”

Robert ChristgauConsumer Guide, on Agharta, robertchristgau.com (opens in a new tab)

“From 1975 until early 1980 I didn’t pick up my horn; for over four years, didn’t pick it up once.”
