- Give the dude a pass. - I'm working here.
You're the one talking about improvisation.
You like the guy, how he plays. Let's just play a little jazz.
Improvi... That's funny coming from you.
How's this?
I'll ask a question. What question?
A jazz question.
Now, you get it right, we roll.
You disappear. Tonight.
If I walk out of here tonight,
I will go so far away, it'll be just like I was dead.
And one more thing.
These people and their rep here, felix...
Well, you tell them I'm sorry.
You tell them I had to.
They laid a grant of immunity on me.
It was either play ball or go back inside,
And I'm... Not going back inside.
Okay.
Lay it on me.
Where did miles learn music?
I know everything about miles. Then let's have it.
Music school. He got into music school, right?
His father was a dentist, east st. Louis.
Invested in agriculture, made plenty of money.
He sent miles to juilliard school of music,
New york, 1945.
Man.
Dropped out after less than a year.
Tracked down charlie parker on 52nd street,
Who mentored him for the next three years.
