Miles Davis spent his life trying to recreate the first time he heard jazz music.
What he felt that night with Dizzy and Bird was unique, and all secondary attempts at reenacting it fell short.
Memory confuses history
and what you remember is never as good as what it really was.
We spend our days trying to get our lives back,
playing a C sharp when really it sounded like a B flat:
which is why I think we should all carry a tuning fork in our pocket.
