Happy Birthday, Miles.

Here is a video of Marcus Miller and Miles Davis busting each others chops on the David Sanborn TV show. A rare public display of The Prince Of Darkness' (as Miles was called) sense of humor.

Miles is the gravelly voiced king. How do I learn to talk like that? Presumably drugs and cigerettes, about 10,000 hours worth!

It is supposed to have happened from when he was beaten by some NYC cops during an arrest, they choked him, I think the story goes, and after that his voice was like that.
