Miles certainly had some "issues," but practically every musician who's been in one of his bands raves about what a great learning experience it was working with him. Sometimes you have to wade through some shit to get to a better place.
There's also this:SourceThe influence of Hendrix and especially Sly Stone on Miles Davis was obvious on the album Bitches Brew, which ushered in the era of jazz fusion. The origin of the album's title is unknown, but some believe Miles was subtly paying tribute to Betty and her girlfriends. In fact, it is said that he originally wanted to call the album Witches Brew — it was Betty who convinced him to change it.
Madamoiselle Mabry, AKA Betty Davis.....a force to reckon with, for sure. The best kind of Bitch.
