Miles Davis: “ In a silent way“
John McLaughlin: „We played it and Miles didn’t like it. He wanted me to play solo…finally he said the first of his many cryptic statements to ma that was, ‚Play it like you don’t know how to play the guitar.'“
Bassist Dave Holland: „Davis said to me: ‚Don’t play what’s there. Play what’s not there.’….He’s saying, ‚Don’t play what your fingers fall into. Don’t play what you go for. Play the next thing.‘ He was always trying to put you in a new space all the time where you weren’t approaching the music from the same point of view all the time, or from a preconceived point of view. It was almost like a Haiku kind of thing or a Zen thing where the master says a couple of words and the students get enlightened.“
