Tribute to Miles Davis
....The Prince of Darkness~~~








Poem Artwork

See they told me I was a bad Muthaf*cker
..dig this I already knew
see they told me boy you got the Middas Touch
but hay man I was never confused
Shiiiiittt...I heard em' say look at that black muthaf*cker
look at that Nigga go....look at em' go
like if they wouldn't have told you
you wouldn't have known...hm
trumpet in hand man I blew
and blew and blew
couldn't nuthin' catch me
cept' that bitches brew

Nigga you ain't livin right
...you ain't livin' right
...you ain't livin' right
ya that's what they all would say
Smokin' baby, Imsonia, hitting that White Girl or base in' nigga
night n' day
The Prince of Darkness
is what label makers named

See cause I'm the Birth of the Cool
I make Sketches of Spain
in a....new Kind of Blue
but ain't nuthin been moved quite like
my Bitches Brew

See look-a der he's The Man With the Horn
Pain, joy,hate and love
pour' out of my every pore
they all point at me.....playin'
with my back all laid out for them to see
Nigga had my addictions
Nigga had my fun
on stage, on tour, round da corner, back alley
Dat's how a Cat like me runs
I gave....had given my much-to-do
but nobody
like nobody
put me down like my Bitches Brew

Whew, powerful. Love this. Saw Miles and that huge band perform "Bitches Brew" around '70 at SUNY at Stoney Brook. He was the opener. Mind was so blown, I walked out on "Santana" just to sort out all I had just heard. You evoke his spirit so well here.

You did Brother Miles a rare but necessary kind of voo-doo-we-too-be-boppin-just-right kind of justice. I believe he would say: Thank you.

You really do image Miles' mind in your intensely artistic poetry. But not only this. You're giving a dimension of history: How hard it must have felt for Miles to break through to acceptance..

Always a joy to read your work. Franz

Your words have captured me in this moment as I reflected on the genius of Miles Davis and realized that there are so many artists that I can recognize through their music - without being aware of the pain that they openly spoke/played about while on stage.

A true work of art...

Billie Holiday, Jimi Hendriks, Whitney Houston. ... When will it end? Why do they have to hurt so much to bring us joy? You nailed it, Baby, lingo and all.

Yep. Miles. Thelonious Monk. Art Blakely. Yardbird Parker. Names from my past when I found a music that was not confined to two chords and a grin.

You bring tears to my eyes, for the world so lost a voice and feel, cut to the chase, talent burned, and message laid, door step now cold, but none could replace the sound or erase the face, outstanding write, skill laid to bare... Walt

Brilliantly written Mitzi! Love the rude words (don't use em though!) This flowed very well. Not sure what to think about what you meant though? Is it real about him, or in general about musicans?
(You would think I'd know, being in the bizness an all!) I'm quite innocent really! lol
