"Miles conceived these settings only hours before the
recording dates and arrived with sketches which indicated
to the group what was to be played. Therefore, you will
hear something close to pure spontaneity in these
performances. The group had never played these pieces
prior to the recordings and I think without exception the
first complete performance of each was a "take."

"All of the music is out there in the first place, all of
it. From the beginning of time the music was there. All
you have to do is try to get a little piece of it. I
don't care how great you are, you only get a little piece
of it."
