John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis and Bill Evans working on the Kind of Blue sessions     1959

“It was because of Bill [Evans]’s influence, I

think, that I always had classical music on

around the house. It was so soothing to think

and work by. I mean people would come by

and expect to hear a lot of jazz on the box,

but I wasn’t into that at the time and a lot of people

were shocked to hear me listening to classical

music all the time, you know, Stravinsky, Arturo

Michelangeli, Rachmaninoff, Isaac Stern.” MIles Davis
