Interesting points, especially about temporality of these movements, which can get a bit distorted in the historical imagination. But I still question if improvisation vs. structure is the issue. I know we're talking about Miles, but how would we place (e.g.) the highly composed Wayne Shorter albums of the 80s, vs. the highly improvised jams of a lot of British jazz-rock? I think the aesthetic argument is more on point (though also can get blurred a lot--for instance compare the last National Health album to the aforementioned Shorter albums). It would just be nice if the aesthetic perception didn't break down so neatly along racial lines.

While I don't consider Miles Davis albums to be Prog-genre, some of the stuff has a kind of Prog-related Jimi Hendrix-y experimental rock feel. Here is a track off the live album Agharta: |
