:41:03
Who is that on the trumpet?
:41:05
[woman] That's Daniel, baby,
he's the owner.
:41:09
He's terrific. Would you be so kind
as to invite him over after his set?
:41:13
- I got to buy him a drink.
- Sure thing, darling.
:41:24
[Daniel] Now see, I was about 1 9,
bussing tables right here.
:41:28
The money wasn't shit,
but that wasn't the point.
:41:31
It was about being around the music.
And I was.
:41:33
Take this one night. July 22nd, 1 964.
Who you think walks through that door?
:41:38
[woman] Bye, baby.
:41:40
- Miles Davis. That's right.
- In the flesh?
:41:44
I'm talking about through those doors,
the coolest man on the planet.
:41:47
Jesus.
:41:49
Anyway, he had been recording a session
up at Columbia, up on Vine.
:41:53
So Miles comes through that door.
:41:56
Before you know it, he's up on
the bandstand, jamming with the band.
: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.
