Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2781185, member: 6819"] I was at a Barnes and Noble here in NY one day and stumbled upon a book signing by Ron Carter. He spoke a bit about Miles mentioning how cheap he was, how he made Ron responsible for making sure the band arrived on time, never paying on time, frequently not paying the band at all, and had Ron doing the band arrangements. All while being underpaid or not at all. On another day I walked into another Barnes and Noble and their was Herbie talking about his book. He didn't mention Miles much, except for being grateful for the opportunity to play with him. Yeah, I go to B and N practically every week for new releases. Yesterday was a book signing with Rene Fleming and the cast of "Carousel". I was gushing like a teenager. She is to me the great operatic voice of my generation. [/QUOTE]
