    Meilleure citation de Miles Davis: Critical Review of His Most Important Albums

    “

    Miles Davis showed us that art is a process, not a destination. He never wanted to be a 'memory,' and because of that, his music still feels alive today; it doesn't sound like a museum piece, it sounds like it’s still happening in real-time.
