Christian McBride tells a good story about when he and Defrancesco were still in high school but working professionally. They got a call from the local radio station to play behind Miles as he did a reluctant interview and kind of master class for the school's aspiring young trumpet players. These kids lined up to play, terrified in front of Miles. Miles, instead of the usual encouraging, "Good, but you need to practice your lip, scales etc", just looked at each one in turn as they played, and muttered, "That was shit", "For fucks sake!", "Shit!" etc. Always makes me laugh.
