    Miles Davis was questioning the increasing length of John Coltrane solos and Trane answered “I don’t know how to stop.” Davis replied with “Try taking the fucking horn out of your mouth.”

    I’m sure that never happened but it’s still a cool quote.

      This sounds like the lead-up to why Miles Davis had a cymbal hurled at his neck

      (I don’t even remember if that’s the right blues figure for that story but it does make the bit funnier)
