" ... on the second of March, 1959 ... in Columbia Records' 30th Street Studio, New York, Miles Davis was recording his jazz masterpiece Kind of Blue ... I think of it sometimes when I listen to Kind of Blue, how the trumpet player took into the studio with him that day all his anger and pride. How he had been working hard for years, practising his art, learning that genius might lie in the small space allowed to someone between his limitations. How he was ready that day, and the world was ready for him - how simple that sounds and yet how rare it really is. "
