Miles played a song directly in my ear (less than an inch away) that no one else at the concert was able to hear, including the people sitting directly next to me.
He was cool.
You too? Miles Davis and I have this agreement where he plays unlimited private concerts for me for a one-time $1.29 fee per song

The Savoy had long tables placed perpendicular to the stage, so you would sit at a right angle to the stage. Whose brilliant idea was that? I did work for me, though, as I had the best seat, with my right elbow right smack dab on the stage. At one point, Miles leaned down and placed his horn practically into my right ear. For about a minute he played a complicated piece so incredibly softly that my girlfriend, who was scrunched very tightly to my left side, said, "I didn't hear anything!" I replied, "I did!
that's awesome man. how was the food, atmosphere?
