^ He played with "Billy Eckstine" throughout 1946-1947 and was a member of Charlie Parker's group in 1947-1948, making his recording debut as a leader on a 1947 session that featured Charlie, pianist "John Lewis", bassist "Nelson Boyd", and drummer "Max Roach".- Miles Davis Music Guide - WikiMusicGuide, your music wiki 2 February 2010 16:16 UTC www.wikimusicguide.com [Source type: General]

- ^ On this occasion, Mingus bitterly criticized Davis for abandoning his "musical father" (see Autobiography).
- ^ "Miles, the bandleader. He took the initiative and put the theories to work. He called the rehearsals, hired the halls, called the players, and generally cracked the whip." Gerry Mulligan "I hear America singing,"
- ^ "So I just told them that if a guy could play as good as Lee Konitz played—that's who they were mad about most, because there were a lot of black alto players around—I would hire him every time, and I wouldn't give a damn if he was green with red breath. I'm hiring a motherfucker to play, not for what color he is." Miles Davis, Autobiography
- ^ In his autobiography Davis recalls exploiting prostitutes and getting money from most of his friends.
- ^ In his autobiography, Davis says he never forgave Calloway for that interview. He also says that African Americans were being unfairly singled out as drug users among the larger community of jazz musicians who used drugs at the time.
- ^ "Back in bebop, everybody used to play real fast. But I didn't ever like playing a bunch of scales and shit. I always tried to play the most important notes in the chord, to break it up. I used to hear all them musicians playing all them scales and notes and never nothing you could remember." Miles Davis, The Autobiography.
- ^ Open references to the blues in jazz playing were fairly recent. Until the middle of the 1930s, as Coleman Hawkins declared to Alan Lomax (The Land Where the Blues Began. New York: Pantheon, 1993), African American players working in white establishments would avoid references to the blues altogether.
- ^ Ashley Kahn (op. cit.) among them.
- ^ Davis had asked Monk to "lay off" (stop playing) while he was soloing. In the autobiography, Davis says that Monk "could not play behind a horn". Charles Mingus reported this, and more, in his "Open Letter to Miles Davis".
- ^ Acquired by shouting at a record producer while still ailing after a recent operation to the throat – Autobiography
- ^ Davis began to be referred to as "the Prince of Darkness" in liner notes of the records of this period, and the moniker persists to this day; see, for instance, his obituary on "The Nation", and countless references in DVD [2], movies [3] and print articles [4].
