Miles Davis’ son Erin (above) talks about the Prince album that his father played over and over while on a road trip in his Rolls-Royce in California. While the two admired each other greatly, they only recorded one track together and it was never officially released, according to Billboard Magazine and PrinceVault, a fan site. Prince asked Davis to record the trumpet track remotely and, along with his request, sent the following note:
“Miles, even though we have never met, I can tell just from listening to your music that you and I are so exactly alike that I know whatever you play would be what I’d do. So if this tape is of any use to you, please go ahead and play whatever you feel over it. Because I trust what you hear and play.”
