In 1991 (25th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz festival), Quincy Jones coaxed Miles Davis - renowned for his relentless pursuit of new sounds and his intransigent refusal to re-visit past glories - into reprising his Gil Evans arrangements from the period 1949-1960. Those who were there speak of the magic of hearing miles' Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain again. Miles died two months later.

This curio includes Miles rapping and playing over music heard through his headphones that we cannot hear during a recording session for the cut "The Struggle Continues," included in the Sun City Artists Against Apartheid project headed by Little Steven (Steve Van Zant, AKA Silvio Dante). 
An attempt at a transcript of his comments follows:
I'm ready, how 'bout you.
I'm ready. I'm a robot.
(Trumpet)
I'm ready, how 'bout you.
I'm ready. I'm a robot.
(Trumpet)
Do you have enough for me?
Enough to make an album.
Do you have enough for me?
(Whispers) I just had an orgasm. Do you know what I'm playing for?
Ron! Let's go.
(Control room directions)
OK. All right.
Oh. You.
You can't go in there. You're the wrong color. You don't belong there.
You're the wrong color. You don't belong in here.
You're too white to be in here.
You don't know what we feel.
You can't stay here... with that bullshit.
You don't sound like (?) on an African.
You can't stay here any longer.
Fuck you!
Leave, leave, leave!
(Plays trumpet)
You can't stay in here anymore.
You're finished!
We're tired of your shit now.
You have to leave!
(Trumpet)
You can't stay in here anymore.
That's how I (?) my whole life.
