KIND OF BLUE BY MILES DAVIS TURNS 50, FRIENDS CELEBRATE

and what about greats of others countries... like neils hennings orsted pedersen !!! i think miles without coltrane cannonbal and bill this record might be different and not so awesome !!! this album is so great for the combination of musician, not just for miles

i really suprised about henry rollins and his thoughts. im amazed that he even listens to miles knowing that punk rocks guys dont listen to jazz. i know there are many exceptions with that statement but the average guy listening to punk isnt playing kind of blue

He just wants you to believe he is into this music...Email him and tell you how he is influenced by Miles in Rollin's music...Bottom line is it doesn't exist...Rollins just thinks its cool to say he is into Mile's music...If Rollins and Miles were living at the same time (during the same era) Rollins would rip into Mile's like he does most other musicians...Rollins is a phony mean mugging wanna be musician who was only cool during his Black flag days when kids really didn't know what cool was

charlie parker??charlie christian?wes montgomary?chick corea?

The other two get their credit. Well, Coltrane does. A LOT! Thelonious Monk a little less but he's acknowledged.

so what?

Agreed, but Davis was the most influential artist in developing other Jazz movements like Bebop, Modal, acid jazz, fusion and funk.

hell yeah, if he can appreciate miles after being in blackflag ha... what a freakin LEGEND.

Not really. If you go around and ask people to name 2 albums by Miles, you'll get 1 out of maybe 100 who know. In the Jazz world...he gets a lot of credit, but I've never heard of any connossieurs or dilettants ignore the other greats.

Ya thats why they get credit too....
