Armstrong and Ellington stand above everybody else in jazz history, including Miles Davis.

Absolutely as should Coltrane, Parker, and Monk.

Miles is one of the best Jazz players to hit this earth. He's like Ali or Walter Payton. You only get one in a life time!

Miles Davis was probably the greatest lover I ever had.

Certainly the most considerate.

Great with his tongue.

Ummm..... I think so, but John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk are certainly up there too in my opinion.

Kind of Blue is one of my favorite albums ever. It's flawless.

Miles Davis is great, One of the few artists I can put on at a party and guarantee no complaints.

Nah, he's not the greatest IMO.

I prefer Thelonious Monk, Coltrane and Mingus.
