Camilo Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I wonder how many great musicians were really likeable people? I was at a small dinner party with Tina Turner once. She's a really nice lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottP Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Miles Davis can almost be thought of as several musicians, rather than one. He was constantly remaking himself and moving from one style to another. He never stood still. Every albumn is different from the one before it. If you don't like one of them, chances are you'd like some of the others. (snip) His final project "Doo Bop" is a good example of this.

That's the one with the terrible rapping, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 People used to ask Miles why he had that raspy voice of his. He stated in his biography that it was a result of a surgery. I think it was from smoking weed almost continually. The same reason why Louis Armstrong had his distinctive gravelly voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Miles also had a pimp's voice, the voice Amiri Baraka once described as his "hipster foghorn bass." That raspy whisper resulted from Miles's supposedly screaming at a promoter too soon after throat surgery." A side note: "BILLY CRYSTAL relates that Louis Armstrong came to a seder at Crystal's childhood home. He was a guest of Crystal's uncle, the famous music producer MILT GABLE. Armstrong, of course, was noted for his very raspy voice. Crystal's grandmother came up to Armstrong and said, "Louis, have you ever tried just clearing your throat, just coughing it up?"

seawallrunner Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 >Except that no one liked that album, as far as I know. That's the one with the terrible rapping, right? It's one of the more approachable of Miles' posthumous albums. If you gloss over the rapping, it's quite an inspired series of pieces. But Tutu and Aura - which followed - were far less, ahm, genial. As for meeting musicians, I once sat next to Maynard Ferguson on a flight between Montreal and Chicago. A very interesting and intelligent person - well travelled too.
