GOT IN THE WAY and STANDING ON HIS FOOT
Hi, I would like someone explain to me these expressions I have found on Miles's Davis Autobiography:
'They didn't want to play traditionally when I wasn't there, and they felt that George GOT IN THE WAY. He preferred the more traditional way.'
and
'Eric played like somebody was STANDING ON HIS FOOT.'
Thanks, Jo.

played like somebody was STANDING ON HIS FOOT = played poorly. (I would have to know Eric's instrument to tell you more, but maybe you can figure out how standing on Eric's foot would impede his performance.)
