Rolling Stone, 15 November 1969, on In a Silent Way
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 Bangs
Miles: The Autobiography, with Quincy Troupe, 1989
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 Davis
Rolling Stone, 28 May 1970, on Bitches Brew
In its current form, Miles’ music bubbles and boils like some gigantic cauldron.
Langdon Winner
Rolling Stone, 7 December 1972, on On the Corner
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. Gleason
Consumer Guide, on Agharta, robertchristgau.com
Angry, dissociated, funky, and the best Davis music since Jack Johnson.
Robert Christgau
Miles: The Autobiography, with Quincy Troupe, 1989
From 1975 until early 1980 I didn’t pick up my horn; for over four years, didn’t pick it up once.
Miles Davis
