| There is a review in Salon today of a new Miles bio. Couple of good quotes:
"I can play anything you can," said the smart-mouthed young trumpet man from Alton, Ill., to the great Dizzy Gillespie. "Yeah," shot back Diz, "but an octave lower."
Also:
When John Coltrane tried to rationalize his long solos by saying that he couldn't find a way to stop, Miles suggested "You might try taking the horn out of your mouth."
Hey-O!
