So many of the most creative people are as they grasp their ego isn’t the point of their being there. It takes a particular type of musician to see the big picture and focus on the goal, and most of my favourite creators are firmly in this category. Miles, like Bowie, Eno etc, realised getting hold of the very best and most interesting people and giving them the space to create was the way to push things forward. I love how minimal Miles can be, I think it’s about 5 minutes into Tribute To Jack Johnson before he even plays his first note! That is real confidence and the exact opposite of the typical ‘widdly widdly widdly’ cock-rock guitarist or whatever. To quote Eno (I think) “one spends the first year or two learning how to play, and the rest of one’s life learning what not to play”.
