In memory of Miles Davis, whose 1959 album, Kind of Blue, is the best selling jazz recording of all time! Alex Haley conducted the first interview for Playboy magazine with Miles in the September 1962 issue. In the interview, Davis candidly spoke about his thoughts and feelings on racism, and it was that interview which set the tone for what became a significant feature of the magazine. My trio now consists of Coltrane, Mingus, and then Miles, but Davis himself had his own trinity. He said: You can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, and When I heard Hawk (Coleman Hawkins), I learned to play ballads. youtube/watch?v=HMPL_ACKmHk
