We generated a fair amount of offense. We hit the crossbar twice and the post once, so we had some others that were really close.

[Miller still sounds awed when he recounts almost immediately finding himself in a studio with Davis.] He hadn't played in five or six years, since I was 15 or 16 years old, ... As far as I was concerned he was as done as John Coltrane. And then to actually be there with my bass in my hand, looking across at him and we're playing together, I can't describe it. The thing that struck me was that I thought he was at least 6-feet-7. I had to adjust to him being around 5-feet-8.

We learned a lot more from how we played tonight, than what happened last night (a 12-2 win over Washington). Good teams like West quickly exposed some of the things we need to work on.

This is the first time we've played soccer in the spring; we have just played in the fall in the past, so it's kind of fun to see some different teams.

If you listen to Donny Hathaway, he had a lot of jazz elements in the way he sang, ... For me, the two styles borrow from each other so much that sometimes it's hard for me to make a distinction. When you hear Lalah sing the combination, that's when she really shines -- when she's allowed to dip into her jazz when she wants to and then get soulful and do the R&B thing.

Everyone was talking about her and telling me I had to check out Donny's daughter, ... I had a gig in Japan at a festival and I wanted to bring in something new, so I asked her to perform. She was just so musical, so fantastic. Every once in a while she would hit one of those notes that would make you think of her father. We've been working together off and on since then.
