Proud of our BEST

Cicely Tyson, actress, was married to Miles Davis.
Miles Davis, and then wife singer Betty Davis

"We must understand that this music is not of a popular form,(commercial). There is no such thing as rating. Art is subjective. Either you dig it or you do not dig, ("Keep it moving") and there is no comparing one to the other. It's like looking at a bed of flowers. They are all beautiful. You cannot compare 'Trane to Rivers, Hubbard to Lee. All of these artists have their own thing. This is a classical art-form you appreciate it, if you are on the level. We cannot all be on the level and have that understanding of the complex art-form." - Rashid Booker
