Miles had a very distinctive, raspy voice. That gravelly voice contributed to his general aura of coolness and mystery. But it was actually the result of an operation he had in 1955 to remove a non-cancerous polyp on his larynx. He was not supposed to speak for a number of weeks after the surgery, but he did, resulting in some damage to his vocal chords.

Miles is like Dylan . Don’t ask dumb questions . He does not fit into them .

I am 76,he is still one of my favorites.I was raised up on jazz. I love how it relaxes me and energizes me.

interviewer talks to one of the greatest trumpeters ever and isn't even sure what a mute is called
-
Embouchure is the term used to describe using the lips and mouth to play brass and wind instruments. Originating from the French language, embouchure enables full musical tone without straining mouth muscles. Executed correctly, embouchure is activated by free-flowing release of breath. YAY BABY!!!

I play the piano, I'm brazilian, I love Jazz, I love Miles! Genius, Great, any words we can say about him will not be enought! Thanks Miles. Thanks!!!!!
-
I'm just grateful to be living in the world and being able to hear his music!

Thanks for posting this. I remember when this aired, I was a high school "jazzer". 6 years after this I was playing "Bye Bye Blackbird" and the security guard nearby asked who was "butchering" the tune and I told him it was Miles. The guard was a big guy in his 80's and said he was a retired NYC cop in the 40s, 50s and 60s. He said he knew Miles (and other musicians during those days) by reputation and said he was a "troublemaker". I had to laugh.
-
Yeah man.... there are not enough words. He lived the music.
-
One of the most influencial musicians ever, across any genre. Just by playing, he gave everyone permission to stretch out as far as their talents would take them. Miles invented new musical languages as he went along.
-
Great video although the interviewer sometimes asked some stupid questions.
-
A true American hero ❤
-
Heard his records in my house as a kid! My mother loved Miles Davis and said he was good as ever at his live concert so I went to a few of his last concerts!
-
Genius!
-
I love you Miles
-
My mother was a close friend of his, having both grown up in East Saint Louis, Illinois and they would get together when he came to town. (Chicago) I saw him at the Regal in Chicago in April of "66".

My Hero!

Thanks so much.

Miles; smart, clever, talented. Interviewer; not so much. Who in the Sixty Minutes corporate office thought THAT guy was the right man for the job? That’s what the public receives from a corporate media; celebrity over actual human artist and at the latter part of Miles career, he deserved better. So do we.
