I never saw this legendary “Vice” episode before. Miles did a solid job of acting there. Very entertaining. I remember seeing the Reasoner piece on Miles, which was pretty good. Thanks for posting! Arsenio and Cavett were in way over their heads in dealing with Miles.
That was an unbelievable level of connection between Mr. Davis and Mr. Cavett. Mr. Davis seemed to be sincerely touched by the gift which carried Mr. Cavett's integrity of humor and the poignancy of Mr. Davis' continued experience of racism.
Wow, thanks so much for the interviews and the TV clip! I had never seen any of them. He gives nuggets of wisdom for those who understand. Hysterical exchange between him and Arsenio about trumpet articulation!

Yes, Reasoner was the only one who wasn't intimidated by him. It was very interesting psychologically speaking to watch the various exchanges.
Harry wasn't intimidated by Miles. But Barbara Walters proved to be difficult for him.
Haha, no doubt.

Of all the talk show hosts, Mr. Cavett was far and away the most intelligent, and his guests, the most interesting.
Agreed. Too bad his style did not become the norm.

Miles was like that record, Something Else. People like that don't come along but once in a lifetime.
