    The Miles-phone story is classic!

    "I thought you were going to say that, Thelonious" almost killed me. Great stories from when Giants roamed the earth.
    Thanks for this fantastic footage!

    This is why that music was so great. They were just being their real selves. There was no pretense about being a "jazz musician" they were just real human beings trying to capture and present the genius they had... profanity, insanity and all.

  • @louisgreen3915
    @louisgreen3915 6 лет назад +22

    I'm laughing out loud, this stuff is really funny. Mingus got him righting music when their about to hit record. Monk is completely in a world of his own chasing Steve Allen around for money. I could listen to Teo talk all day.

    Miles turning down $$$ most Jazz guys begging for a gig. Why Miles drove Ferraris and the others on the subway

    • @allen6924
      @allen6924 4 года назад +5

      Did you notice they went up every time teo turned them down; $2500 a pop. Went from $2500 to $7500 in three calls. "Book it muthafucka" LMAO. And miles wasn't on the call. That's how popular Mile's music was. Promoters don't do that for 90% of artist.

      I was subbing for the drummer at Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. It was all sight reading, no rehearsal. In one number, on page 2 there was a note that said, "cut to" but there was no "to", just a red line snaking down the page, around to the next page and down around the next 2 pages. By the time I found the cut, it was over. All I could do was keep time.
