"Do not fear mistakes.
There are none."
Fearless. I respect this statement. Though it applies best to artistic endeavors and such. Not so much a practical creed to follow in say accounting or architectural design. But for looking at life on the grand scale this quote gives comfort.
Miles Davis (1926-1991) was an American jazz trumpet player and composer. I figured I would continue with my jazz musician theme for QOD since I believe jazz is America's truest and possibly singular native art form and does not receive the wide appreciation it deserves. Anywho. Davis is truly an iconic figure of not only jazz and music culture but the world of hip all together. Considered widely to be among the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Davis was at the center of several revolutions in jazz music including bebop, cool jazz, modal jazz, and jazz fusion. He also worked with composer Gil Evans on several projects which are among my favorites including MIles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain. In October of 2008 Davis' monumental record Kind of Blue was certified platinum for the fourth time in its history.
