Is Miles Davis the greatest ever? (jazz, favorite band, album, fan)

Rockafella Skank · 12-25-2003, 01:23 AM

A lot of people think he is and others think he isn't. I happen to think he is is. The Kind of Blue album was just spectacular. He brought in the best people on that album and it shows as I think it's the best Jazz album ever made. What do you think of Miles Davis and Kind of Blue?

I know back in the day anything Miles Davis did was copied by his millions of fans. My dad was telling me how whatever Miles Davis wore, he wore. He's a big jazz fan and I know Miles is his favorite.

i really like Miles Davis but theres alot of other greats too. Coltrane, herbie Han****, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellignton to name a few. But My persoanl favorite jazz bandwould probobly have to be the Alpha boys.

i'll go a step further and say he was the greatest american musician there ever was!!!!
Without Miles there would be no Satriani, no Vai, or no good music for that matter!!!

I actually laughed out loud at that. I agree though, I've never heard anything outstnading by either of them.

How much vai have you heard?, im not attacking your judgement, it's just a simple question sparked by my own curiosity. He isnt one of those mindless shreders as you would call it, so let's leave it at that, he is a brillant guitar player, His music isnt completely acessible, even if you dont like it you can still appreciate it. Vai's music really as more jazz and progressive rock influence rather than neo classical influence like almost all shreders do, the word Shred itself is a lame limitation of Vai's musical talent, listen to Passion and Warfare, there's barely any actual shreding on it at all.

Yeah, Vai IN my opinion is the Most tasteful "Shredder" (If you'd like to call him that or even classify him into this particular area").
