Well, Miles more or less got kicked out of Julliard, didn't he? Maybe that's why.

I know that if I had a student who came to me with a big chip on his shoulder and was giving me attitude like that, I would show them the door and tell them to go find another instructor. Otherwise it would be a waste of my time.

I think that Miles Davis was a legend in his own mind.

Personally, I've never been able to figure out what was so great about his playing, but then again, for the most part, his music doesn't really appeal to me so I've never gone out of my way to listen to a lot of it.

Maybe one day I'll learn to see the genius in it.
