I think it was in his autobiography, and I can't remember the details of who was involved exactly, but it went something like this...One day one of Miles' saxophonists came up to him and complained that one of the keyboard players (maybe Keith Jarrett) was playing the wrong kinds of chords underneath his solos. So Miles took note of this, and the next time he saw this keyboard player he said to the guy, 'hey man, [saxophone guy] was telling me that he loves your shit, you should play more of that stuff'.
I think there are probably a couple more examples of him pitting musicians against each other like this, and it seemed to work out fine for him. |
You should be on this site more often. Your chart is awesome, and I've enjoyed every single of your posts.
