In Miles' eyes you can see a playful, timid child... completely different vibe that the shades gave. Kudos to Dick for creating a place where Miles felt comfortable enough to show himself. Quite rare, really...
When I see footage of Miles in the 80s, I can't help thinking his real genius was curating his public Image and creating a mythos around himself that was so readily adopted by the media. For me this is way more interesting than the music he was making from the 70s onwards.
Miles was comfortable enough to remove his glasses. I have never seen Miles without his shades. How did this happen? Dick Cavett gained Miles' trust. He let Miles answer questions in his own time. Miles was able be himself - to let his guard down. Miles said things that I never knew about him. Cavett allows pauses where other interviewers would try to fill up with noise. These natural pauses allow: 1) The interview to "breathe" and expand naturally. 2) The interviewee to add something to their initial response. Cavett will follow up the response and go in that direction, instead of moving on to the next question on some list. This allows the interview to move along organically Cavett's respect and, well, just his nature, causes his interviewees to relax and be themselves. The license plate bit: I didn't know where Cavett was going with the DWB question, (Driving While Black). I was so surprised at Miles' reaction. He sincerely loved it! Can you imagin any current talk show hosts interviewing Miles? That would be incredibly cringy. To see more Legends: If you have a $15 digital antenna, look for the "Decades" channel. Free except for the initial purchase ($15) at Walmart or Amazon. Dick Cavett's show airs Monday through Friday around 6:00 p.m. Central Time for me.

No, don’t calm down. Absolutely right that Miles liked him. I think it was because Dick was honest. Square and honest. Miles loved that. Cage was an asshole trying to create a moment for himself.
Miles is such a sweetheart! The interviewer has such a respect for him and miles feels it and reciprocates! You can tell miles is having more fun in the second song too, anyone who has ever said miles is a jerk needs to watch this interview! Amazing

Your actions were so inappropriate, and disrespectful, that I can only assume you have Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A grandiose sense of self-importance & a sense of entitlement.
Not least owing to Cavett's humanity this historic interview and jazz performance with Miles has a social and musical significance that is as yet still underappreciated. Musically his 'Perfect Way' distills all that was and all that is yet to come... insanely hip bebop and blues lines over bouncing ultra-shuffle and dark-funk grooves from the XXXIX-century with all shades of humanity driven by a single mastermind's will...

@@pawlowski6132 You're laughing at yourself. Read the documentaries how much time, thought, and successive recording sessions were done to consummate a final recording session during this period of Miles Davis's music.
you just can't imagine how much this man changed the world of music not only is he responsible for some subgenres of jazz, such as jazz rock, jazz funk, jazz fusion, cool jazz, hard bob free jazz, but he also influenced many musical genres outside of jazz, ranging from rock hip hop r&b pop and a bunch of other musical genres that I don’t immediately remember
@@golds04 only as in, there is no one who did what he did for jazz the way he did it, not that he's the only great jazz player, I didn't say that. but he is the one who took what Byrd and Dizzy was doing and took out some notes and made it cool. and in that regard he is the one and only, there is no co-number ones who pushed that idiom like he did. in other words he changed the direction of bebop in his era.
@@golds04 But there is one and only Miles Davis. He didn't say he was the only important figure in Jazz and he never called him the best. You're clearly having a strawman argument with yourself. You probably fantasize about having these arguments so when you hear anything close l, you bite
I love how miles didnt give a F, he didnt change who he was for anybody and didn't put on airs just because he was on TV. He really doesnt give a F if you like him or not.

Best Miles interview I have found so far … all the others are aweful due to the clueless idiot interviewers. Cavett’ is first class drawing out Miles …. and he even takes off his glasses …. we get to enjoy him relaxed just having fun. Carlos Santana’s long term friendship and stories about Miles are also a more intimate source.
You would think the crew working on the show which did some of the most iconic interviews of all time would know where to clip a mic on a legend without it making constant noise, would’ve been cool to hear what Miles said 🤓👍
I hope Nicolas Cage appreciates and cherishes the memory of this moment- being taught how to hold a trumpet by MILES DAVIS - in spite of his (Cage’s) flippant attitude in the segment.

A very young Cage … got to experience an ancient huge force of raw pure Source. And who knows, maybe a few of Cage’s best raw unbridled roles like Leaving Vegas were influenced by this evening with Miles.
Cage wasn't being flippant he was just being silly. He clearly had respect for Miles Davis and was trying his best to keep the situation lite in the presence of a serious and dry personality like Miles. Miles fans act like everybody needs to suck his cock all the time.

OK somebody please tell me who is the guitar player? I think Marcus Miller played bass and the guitar part on the album. I recognise Adam Holzman on keys (as well as Robert Irving III? ), Bob Berg on sax, sadly also cannot make out the drummer (my guess Vincent Wilburn Jr) and percussionist.....
the drummer is definitely Vincent Wilburn jr. he’s Miles nephew and a fine drummer . Steve Thomson is the percussionist playing multiple hand drums cowbells triangle timbales etc . both great musicians .
the one question i would ask Miles is how do you keep gum in your mouth and play trumpet without the gum clogging up the mouthpiece of the trumpet 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♀️🤔 i have never heard of any one asking Miles how does he do that
@@louis.stringer The sax was fine. However Miles wasn't finished "talking" and the sax interrupted him. The sax man was playing it the way it was written, and rehearsed - unaccustomed to Miles' random improv. He cut Miles off and probably hates himself to this day. Lesson learned - don't get caught up in your part. You have to listen to Everything! that's going on around you.
Saw Miles a number of times & he was never without the gum.I always wondered how he could 'park it' , somewhere in his mouth,so adeptly and not shoot it down into that horn.
Interviewer: So, mister Davis, how have you been? Miles: Muffa min maw dadla. Interviewer: How interesting. If you needed to hire new band member, what would they need? Miles: Spish sadalocum dabbadoo shhhhh. Interviewer: Do you enjoy being interviewed? Miles: Radablo.
The only truly American artform is jazz. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis are among the most recognised giants in that play. Dick was a class-act. He got away with murder as the intention was not to harm, look at how quick he retracts the Liberace thing about Miles' dress-sense. Miles opened up about how Kind of Blue came out different from the concept, which was new to me. Technically Miles was not the best trumpet-player of his era, but his intuition in leading bands and the ability to focus and listen to his genius and muse was awesome.
How is it possible for Miles to be this cool and gracious? One of the few true aristocrats in the world. Cavett is well meaning but clearly does not know music and his questions are not interesting, but in fact a little condescending. I have yet to see him interview a black person without clumsily talking about race. Here he even brings up heroin. Cage, who I like as an artist, also does not come across well here. Miles did not seem to mind too much though. Nobody cooler. As somebody said: the genius is the man most like himself.
I love that Miles first tried to play along with Nic Cage even though he was being a bit of an ass, but after a certain point Miles just decided that he’s not worth his attention and started talking to Dick about something else. I feel like he gave Cage much more attention than he deserved from the outset.
Cavett doesn't know music - neither does the talk show's target audience. Would you have preferred miles talking about his note selection during his acid jazz period? I would have. but there's no platform to talk about those things other than in a music theory classroom in a school of music. Not to mention that everybody except for five or six people would have changed the channel. The show's numbers go from 750,000 a day to 7. The heroin question: that took a lot of balls for Cavett to ask, and I could not wait to hear the answer. I'm glad he asked the question that no one else was brave enough to ask. Racial unrest is not a small thing. I like to hear black people's response whether it be the poor, the not so poor, or the rich black people. Cavett knew the answer to the DWB question before he asked it - miles must have said something in an article somewhere that he was getting stopped once a week since he got the Lamborghini. So it was all a lead-up to the license plate bit. I was so surprised at Miles' reaction. He sincerely loved it! I OWN IT BABY ~~~~ Nick cage is it not an artist. Nick cage is not a legend. Nick cage is an actor - a person who memorizes words that someone Else wrote, and regurgitates them at the appropriate time.
I do my best but as many times that I saw trumpet players in BUDDY RICHS bands that could blow him away. Hey miles play CHANNEL ONE SUITE......ya right.....he would get lost

Miles covered Scritti Politti's song "Perfect Way" on his 1986 album. Miles also appeared on the track "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)" on the band's album Provision.

Cavett allows pauses where other interviewers would try to fill up with noise.
These natural pauses allow:
1) The interview to "breathe" and expand naturally.
2) The interviewee to add something to their initial response.
Cavett will follow up the response and go in that direction, instead of moving on to the next question on some list.
This allows the interview to move along organically
Cavett's respect and, well, just his nature, causes his interviewees to relax and be themselves.

@Kevin Smith Yeah seems like a big dick. Johnny Wadd?
@@kwonsclassicalguitarstorag5087 Steve kahn way better touch - this guys tight as a drum
Garth Webber
@@EnricoMerlin1000dischi yes, I think Robben recommend him.
Miles Davis doing a Scritti Politti cover? 😂
1:38 hahahahahaha Miles is so irrititated by that terrible Sax
@Louis Stringer The sax was fine. However Miles wasn't finished "talking" and the sax interrupted him.
The sax man was playing it the way it was written, and rehearsed - unaccustomed to Miles' random improv.
He cut Miles off and probably hates himself to this day.
Lesson learned - don't get caught up in your part.
You have to listen to Everything! that's going on around you.
@@smoothjazzforloversneworle7933 But the band was right there with Bob.
@@jbognap yep These armchair critics are so far off its not funny
Wonder whose idea it was to improv off Scritti Politti - Perfect Way...
miles covered it for tutu (1986).
That this is Scritti Politti lost on everyone!
nope I heard it right away, pretty cool
Not Me. Cupid & Psyche..
Miles covered Scritti Politti's song "Perfect Way" on his 1986 album.
Miles also appeared on the track "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)" on the band's album Provision.
As a kid, I always thought Miles Davis looked like a mummy.
Intro, reading it off a piece of paper ( sad or what? )
Peace to all !!
Miles gone off course! Music sounds like opening for a lifestyle t.v. show from Malibu! Cavett probably knows this is NOT Miles' greatest moment.😅😬🙄
Caveat established rapport
Not easy to do
I'm an atheist,but the creation of miles,makes me wonder
Nicholas Cage
But credit to Dick Cavett for addressing directly the racism Miles Davis suffered.
Nicolas Cage is funny😂
MILES DAVIS is fumny and so iconic. A pure Jazz stylist. No wonder Mi l es liked Ahmad Jamal so much! RIP Miles Davis😍
Cage of no respect.
@@castinmeadows6956 a total dick!
Funny? No.
Ignorant and disrespectful? Yes.
