:42:00
I mean, it had to be...
:42:02
Oh, it was scary.
I mean, the dude was so focused, man.
:42:06
Plus, he was kind of
a scary cat anyway.
:42:08
Everybody and their mama knew you don't
just come up and talk to Miles Davis.
:42:13
I mean, he may have looked like
he was chilling, but he was absorbed.
:42:16
This one young, hip couple, one of them
tried to shake his hand one day.
:42:22
And the guy says,
"Hi, my name is..."
:42:24
Miles said, "Get out of my face,
you jive motherfucker.
:42:27
Take your silly bitch with you."
:42:30
[both laugh]
:42:31
You know? That was Miles, man.
:42:34
That's the way he was when he was
in his musical headspace. Fierce.
:42:38
- But did you get to talk to him?
- Better than that.
:42:42
I played for about 20 minutes.
:42:44
[Vincent] Unbelievable.
:42:46
- How'd you do?
- How'd I do?
:42:48
You really ain't shit
playing next to Miles Davis.
:42:51
But he carried my ass.
:42:52
[Vincent] What'd he say?
:42:54
He said one word: Cool.
:42:57
Cool?
:42:58
- That's it?
- Yeah.
:43:00
That meant, "Good, but not ready."
:43:02
It meant, "Look me up when you are."
:43:05
Did you?
:43:06
No. I got drafted
and got into some other things.
:43:11
And by the time I got back to music,
season had passed.
:43:17
You know, I was born in 1 945,
:43:20
but that night was the moment
of my conception.
:43:24
- Right here in this room.
- Crowd's not here now.
:43:27
Well, jazz ain't the draw
that it used to be.
:43:32
What a great story.
:43:35
I got to tell the people in Culiacan
and Cartagena that story.
:43:52
You know the folks
in Culiacan and Cartagena?
:43:54
Afraid so.
:43:58
Just when I thought
you were a cool guy.
