miles davis - in a silent way

Suddenly, [Guitarist John] McLaughlin heard what Miles wanted. “He wanted me to play the tune with just one chord! And then, suddenly, everybody was waiting for me to start the tune and I didn’t know what to do. I had no idea.

Miles said, ‘Well, you know the chord.’

So I gave him the chord. That’s all. Two chords, in fact. I started to play, and I realized the light is on, and I played the first solo. Wayne Shorter played the tune; Miles and Wayne played it together. I was confused, but I was playing on instinct.

And then we played it back, and I was shocked how beautiful it was.”
