"Couldn't really tell you." (Jean-Michel Basquiat)

August 12, 2018

"It's like asking Miles, how does your horn sound? He couldn't really tell you why he played it, why he plays this at this point in the music.

He's sort of on automatic, you know." - Jean-Michel Basquiat

(from Tamra Davis' movie, The Radiant Child. So good.)
