The biggest problem with American music right now, is that kids don`t listen. They come by it honestly, Americans don`t listen anyway. When people go to concerts, they say I`m going to see... not, I`m going to hear.
One of the things that`s clear to me from interviews that I`ve read is that the more popular successful jazz musicians had audiences above and beyond the music community.
One of the things that I loved about listening to Miles Davis is that Miles always had an instinct for which musicians were great for what situations. He could always pick a band, and that was the thing that separated him from everybody else.
