I met Miles Davis in 1968 at Shelley Manne's Jazz Club in Hollywood California.
I was seated by the hostess and she sat me within 5 feet of where Miles was seated drinking a beer while his band was playing. I was shocked! I think I said something dumb like I was a fan and rattled off the albums of his that I owned. He didn't say a word- just grunted at me and got up and sat with some people near the stage. Then he got up to play his solo. When I met Andy Bey in 2005 he was a lot more cordial.
Zak thats a funny and classic story about Miles. Sadly i only got to see him once in the 90's at Lincon Center in NYC. It was an amazing show. I will always miss Miles Davis
