Miles has influenced music in many ways. He opens up people to being creative and not having boundaries. He has influenced me musically, by pushing me to have no boundaries, to be experimental and to try new things, like different collaborations. He taught me to be open-minded musically and to take elements from here and there, and to experiment with. When I mix his music, it adds a certain element of expression and I try to engage in something that’s unique. I listen to the record and try to add little loops and work it how I hear it. I’m actually about to do a tour called “Miles Davis Bitches Brew” where we play selected tracks off of “Bitches Brew“. I’m doing that with Graham Haynes, Lonnie Plaxico, James Blood Ulmer, Cindy Blackman, Marco Benevento, and Antoine Rooney. We’re doing some jazz festivals in the States, a free show in Brooklyn, Montreal Jazz Festival, and the New Mexico Jazz Festival. We’re hitting all of the jazz festivals and hopefully heading over to Europe as well.
