“ … In 1969, while he was working on ‚Bitches Brew“ in New York City, Miles Davis decided to take a night off in the Village. Whilst he was strolling about in the company of a leggy blonde, Miles spotted David Crosby. He approached him and asked „Are you Crosby?“ As Crosby was a bit stunned, he didn’t immediately respond. That prompted Miles to attempt to introduce himself. But, as he was about to say „I’m Mi…,“ Crosby regained his bearings and said „Yeah, yeah…I know who you are. How are you, man? Miles simply responded „I recorded one of your songs.“ „Which one?“ asked Crosby. „Guinnevere‘,“ said Miles. „Wanna hear it?“ … “So, Dave, what do you think?” Crosby threw him one of his trademark glares. “Well, Miles, you can use the tune, but you have to take my name off of it.” Miles was crestfallen. “You don’t like it?” he asked. Crosby refused to temper his opinion, even for royalty like Miles Davis. “No, man – no. I don’t like it at all.” …“

“ … There has been a long-running myth that Crosby hated Davis’ arrangement, much to the disappointment of the trumpeter. However, during a 2020 interview with Tom Cridland, he set the record straight, saying, “He played it for me, and it was stunning. It was better than I even realised at the time.” That quote seems to be more reliable, as it is difficult to imagine anybody listening to Miles Davis’ ‘Guinnevere’ and not being utterly blown away by its genius. …“ | From: “My brain fell out”: The moment Miles Davis played David Crosby a song | Ben Forrest (Thu 1 August 2024) |Source: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/miles-davis-played-david-crosby-a-song/

“ … Miles Davis recorded a version of the song during a January 27, 1970 session. It was first released, in edited form, on the 1979 compilation Circle in the Round, with a longer version appearing on the 1998 release of The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions. According to David Crosby’s 2016 podcast interview with Marc Maron, Davis played it for Crosby at the former’s home before releasing it. Crosby did not recognize any resemblance between Davis‘ version and his composition and Davis kicked him out of his house.[6] In late 2017, Crosby tweeted that he changed his mind about Miles‘ recording: „Finally ….after so many years of not getting it ….I listened to Miles and his band doing Guinnevere….and got it…“ …“ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinnevere (08.03.2024)
