Fantastic interview! Herbie was, and is, so ahead of his time…

Mike is such a great interviewer, lets the subject tell his story.

[@QUIRK1019]

He's just one of my favorite human beings

[@NadavHbr]

Such an optimistic person - inspiring

[@billartolawhipple2365]

I just read and enjoyed his book Possibilities. But those stories, and Herbie’s personality, really come to life in this interview - amazing!
Thank you Herbie for your art and inspiration to thousands (millions?) of musicians. I wanted to sound just like you the moment I first heard Dolphin Dance!

What an amazing interview! Out of interest after watching this I said I’d check and see if he’s doing a tour in 2022 - it turns out he’s coming to my country. Ticket bought, and I cannot wait!! For yrs and yrs and yrs I wanted to see him live..and now I will. 😣😭!! Maestro!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like this guy. Despite his fame he is so natural and down to earth. So interesting to listen to his story.

39:00 Wowow! Herbie has really predicted the future with remote recording and working. That's exactly what we're doing in 2020

[@paulcombs-bomuse6172]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@schipmusic]

Herbie has such an optimistic view of communication technology. I wonder what he would have thought about getting ads on YT in hebrew for the first time in your life about half an hour after listening to a feature about judaism on the analogue radio in your car.

[@pauljackson7877]

Big thanks to Donald and Miles...may they always RIP.

Thanks Doc!

He started off reading 4 part hymns. His reading was further along then most starting with vertical reading.

[@jeanhodgson8623]

He was in a "Baptist Church" when he was young. Sadly, a vast number of Baptist Churches do not preach the gospel of salvation, but concentrate on carnal things: funky singing and dancing and swaying about. In the jazz world (of which I have been a part since I was about 4), the word "gospel" just means that fleshly rubbish, rather than the way of salvation. For example, Hank Mobley recorded a piece called "A Baptist Beat", which has absolutely nothing to do with real Baptist Churches, which do not have any of that shallow, carnal stuff, but, rather, preach how to be saved. I am a missionary and I have preached in about 250 independent Baptist Churches (mainly in America), none of which had that junk.
The word "gospel" has been perverted in jazz circles.

@@jeanhodgson8623 Damn Tommy you sound boring as fuck

[@danielduesentriebjunior]

Miles discovered and supported so many musicial talents who became world-famous leaders themselves. Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea or Keith Jarret, only just mentioning pianists.
