Miles Davis = A god who walks the earth! |

Miles Davis is great. I remember me and some mates just chilling out for ages to a Miles Davis CD. Oh man, I want to put some on NOW! |

Birth of the Cool > Bitch's Brew/Kind of Blue/whatever. And how prophetic was that album title? |

He was important, but as far as jazz goes, there were and still are more interesting artists. |
||||||||
|
|

More interesting players, yes, but for emotional impact miles is pretty close to the top of the list. That's why i like him. |

i wouldn't necessarily dispute that claim... but this isn't the "ye olde proclamatione of Miles Davis' earthene superioritie threade" ... please... the man gave us 4 classic quintet albums in a single days worth of work! and his influence on guys like Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane has helped these guys into the upper stratospheresof Jazz (not to say that he did it alone, but he definitely played a role)... ye olde miles poll: 1. What's your favourite Miles album? 2. Who is your favourite Miles sax player? 3. who is your favourite miles drummer? 4. who is your favourite miles pianist? 5. who is your favourite miles bassist? |

1. In a silent way. 2. Trane, motherfucka. Honourable mention to wayne shorter. 3. Jack DeJohnette. 4. Chick Corea. 5. Harvey Brooks. |

Agreed. His influence is huge but it's not like he came from nowhere: Parker, Young, Hawkins, Gillespie were all big before his time came, let's not forget these important figures either. Album: Kind of Blue Sax: Coltrane Drummer: Tony Williams Pianist: Bill Evans Bassist: Dave Holland Kind of Blue was my first jazz album and I don't think I've heard a more consistent album of his, all the tracks are great. I urge everyone who hasn't to check out Wayne Shorter's and Dave Holland's more contemporary work, still amazing. |

I would say that Miles even has influenced idm electronic music in a way. If you check out his last work, Pangaea/Agharta/Dark Magus, you'll see stuff that could almost be seen as the first attempts to drum&bass. |

for sure, for sure... mustn't forget about Bird or Pres... or a whole lot of others who cam before and after the man... album: i'm inclined to say kind of blue... but i feel like i have to give a lot of them more listens before i can decide sax: coltrane drummer: tony williams (but i must give love to philly joe, cause he's the shit too) pianist: Herbie Hancock (but they've all been amazing) Bassist: Paul Chambers |

i love to listen to miles when it's raining...it's raining now and im enjoying his music again... |

...Miles davis threade! (this post will lose its context... i'd just like to sat that i am a dork) honestly now... he is one of the few artists who i am confident enough to pronounce as one of the 20th centuries most resounding contributions to cultural history (yes that sounds high-fallutin', i know... evidently i am high right now... ) which is your favourite "fusion" miles album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bitches Brew is the shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I find his music pretty boring really... just not a fan of the trumpet sound... it's too overused in my opinion... so if one doesn't like the trumpet, it's kind of hard to like Miles Davis... |

good old miles. i'm so grateful to the people that introduced me to him nice & early on. |
||||||||

i have bitches brew on quadraphonic LPs. the title track sounds bitchin (pardon the pun) when you set it up...you hear miles in front of you, and the echoes are behind you. i can't wait till people start releasing music in 5.1 surround...IDM will be a whole new ballgame...in fact, i feel a new topic coming on... |

t: bitches brew and live evil s: wayne shorter b: jack dejohnette k: herbie hancock d: holland one of my favorite musical experiences was the summer i was fortunate enough to live a friend who had just returned from berkley.. playing trumpt for 8 years as a kid i was already well aware of davis but listening to those records and particularlly listening to these last 2 while digesting and disecting every piece of it, then swapping them back and forth with some of my electronic records.. anyways. not only are these killer albums but they're very nostalgic for me.. |

his stuff is nostalgic for me also. took a road trip through new mexico with agharta/pangea in the car stereo...it was a convertible sixties-model chevy impala. wide open deserts, alien landscapes, sunsets that seem to last forever... |

one of my all time favorites is "flamenco sketches." check it on a late, quiet summer night. |
