Whatever you do, don't use the word "package".

Things I've learned about Miles by reading the first 96 pages of the book "So What":

Miles and Charlie Parker were fired after the first day of a week-long gig at a Detroit night club in 1949 because Bird was nodding off. The owner who fired them was Jack Ruby - the same man who shot Oswald in 1963.

Miles appeared as a pimp in an episode of "Miami Vice".
