It's TWO HOURS of...
"unscripted Miles Davis"
from multiple perspectives
from the people who knew him best....
------------

No, I am not related to these people (to my knowlege....lol)
But for me conducting this interview, it was like a catharisis for me on a
personal level.

Man...it's like the...

"mother of all interviews"

I told Vince Wilborn, that this interview was gonna be RAW.
I wanted to get his thoughts, in his voice, completely unedited.
(and that is EXACTLY what happened)

lol

Not only did I get to interview Vince Wilborn, but also his father (Miles
brother in law), Miles daughter, Miles grandson, their attorney...

PLUS

LENNY WHITE

all at the same time

I'm interviewing Vince
Then the phone rigs
one comes in
Phone rings again
another person comes in
and again and again

people are wrong, I would suggest that those people just don't get it..."
