Miles Davis is a major influence of mine in terms of the way that I am as a bandleader.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

I have tons of jazz records: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis. I could go on and on.

I personally think Miles Davis is a lot funnier than me. And he's working more.

I love music, and a lot of it. Jazz is probably on the top with guys like Miles Davis. But I even enjoy music from the '60s and '70s.
