- When critics call him rude, Miles Davis likes to remind
- them that he is a knight, having been granted that honor by
- Spain. Says the visionary jazz trumpet player: "People say, `He
- turns his back to you in concerts' and stuff like that, and they
- don't even call me sir." To reimpress his prerogatives on the
- world, Davis begins a tour next month. In May he releases a new
- album, and in September his autobiography will be out. Sir Miles
- is also delving into go-go, hip-hop and other musical styles.
- Says he: "I've been listening to elephant and whale sounds."
- Heavyweight sounds for a heavyweight musician.
