Christina Marie Karis Instagram – Some years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of Don Cheadle’s amazing film Miles Ahead, about the late great brilliant jazz musician Miles Davis.

To this day, I am still wrapping my mind around Davis’ creative excellence…and personal demons. What I adore most about Davis is that he was fully HERE. When he lived, he LIVED. Fully and completely. He left everything on the table in life, and now, I hear that in his music.

As an actress, I am so inspired by his take on creating and improvisation.

“Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there. In music, silence is more important than sound. It takes a long time to sound like yourself. I play it first and figure out what it’s called later. We don’t play to be seen. Im addicted to music, not audiences.”
-a few words by Davis
Celebrating this legend today.🖤🎺
