“The patients often try to starve themselves, to hang themselves, to cut their arteries; they beg that they may be burned, buried alive, driven out into the woods and there allowed to die.

“Miles Davis had been in retirement for five or six years and he was coming out of retirement and he was looking for young guys.

So I showed up and yeah, it was intimidating, but music is so important to me that the intimidation was all before the notes started.”
