Try to make anything that happens into something of value.

2021-03-01 卡啡傳譯

I had the great experience of working with Miles Davis where I played something that was ... you can say technically wrong.

It was in the middle of a concert that was the best concert of that tour.

We were having a great time.

In the middle of one of the songs, during Miles' solo, I played this chord that was so wrong.

I thought I had just destroyed everything, and reduced that great night to rubble.

Miles took a breath and he played some notes.

And he made my chord right.

And I could not figure out how he did that.

That sounded like magic, you know?

It took me years to figure out what actually happened.

Here's what happened.

I judged what I had played.

Miles didn't.

Miles just accepted it as something new that happened.

And he did what any jazz musician should always try to do, and that is try to make anything that happens into something of value.
