“I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It`s a reality.”
“The image that the public gets is whatever they perceive it to be. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has their own vision, so I don`t know what my public image is. I have no idea.”
“I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.”
“I don`t think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.”
“We weren`t put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.”
“Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.”
“Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.”
“I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that`s beautiful.”

REPORT: Don Cheadle taking Miles Davis story to Broadway, movie version to follow:
According to milesdavisonline.com Don Cheadle will bring Miles Davis’ story to broadway as a producer and director. He will not play Miles on Broadway, but he will be plaing Miles in the film version of the play due out in 2013. I’m very excited about this!!!!!
Check out the news in detail:
Well this is something:
BroadwayWorld.com is reporting that actor Kevin Navayne is set to make his Broadway debut as Miles Davis in a Broadway play about the jazz legend.
Directed and produced by Don Cheadle, the show is aiming for a short run on Broadway in 2013.Um…. Let’s look at that block-quote again.
Directed and produced by Don Cheadle, the show is aiming for a short run on Broadway in 2013.The story on BroadwayWorld.com reports that, the as-yet-unnamed play, “will be based on Davis as a musician, but will also a deep look into his personal life and the trials and tribulations that came with it. The concept will also be made into a film starring Don Cheadle in 2013, in which Navayne will play Marcus Miller, Davis’s bassist.”
Wow!
We’ve known for awhile (almost 2 years) about Navayne’s involvement with the film, but this Broadway play news is definitely out of left field. I like it, I’m just shocked.
Thus far, I haven’t seen any comments from Cheadle, or anyone from the Miles Davis estate.
But still – wow!

“This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in,” he says gravely. “I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of that energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you’ve got to be careful.”
