"Sometimes while I ride the subway I try to look at
each person and imagine what they look like to someone who is totally
in love with them. I think everyone has had someone look at them that
way, whether it was a lover, or a parent, or a friend, whether they know
it or not. It’s a wonderful thing, to look at someone to whom I would
never be attracted and think about what looking at them feels like to
someone who is devouring every part of their image, who has invisible
strings that are connected to this person tied to every part of their
body. I think this fun pastime is a way of cultivating compassion. It
feels good to think about people that way, and to use that part of my
mind that I think is traditionally reserved for a tiny portion of people
I’ll meet in my life to appreciate the general public."

"As tempting as it is to sum up their joint efforts with Kind of Blue, Davis and Evans were not all about melancholy and moodiness. On Jazz at the Plaza, a simple four-song album Miles’ sextet recorded live on Aug. 9, 1958, there’s a 10-minute version of “My Funny Valentine” featuring Davis and Evans as the sole soloists; Trane and Cannonball both lay out. Muted trumpet and brightly stroked piano are alone to spar, at moments halting and punchy, then playful and flowing. It’s a lighthearted conversation between two masters totally familiar with one another, enjoying the composition and the company."
