Dies hier habe ich noch gefunden:
„(In a Silent Way) is the kind of album that gives you faith in the future of music. It is not rock and roll, but it’s nothing stereotyped as jazz either. All at once, it owes almost as much to the techniques developed by rock improvisors in the last four years as to Davis‘ jazz background. It is part of a transcendental new music which flushes categories away and, while using musical devices from all styles and cultures, is defined mainly by its deep emotion and unaffected originality.
(…)
They say that jazz has become menopausal, and there is much truth in the statement. Rock too seems to have suffered under a numbing plethora of standardized Sounds. But I believe there is a new music in the air, a total art which knows no boundaries or categories, a new school run by geniuses indifferent to fashion. And I also believe that the ineluctable power and honesty of their music shall prevail. Miles Davis is one of those geniuses.“
(Lester Bangs / Rolling Stone / Nov 15, 1969)

“There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past and the future. This gift can bring healing—but it can also attract demons.” (From the movie Sinners by Ryan Coogler)
