But it looks to me like Miles' fusion work is less popular around here than I imagined.
I think many here knows In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and not much more.

Hi,

I can't say, honestly, that I listen to Miles for any "fusion" whatsoever ... you go for Miles, because IT IS MILES and you appreciate his ability to do whatever comes to mind at any time and place in his music.

The individuality is what makes it for me ... not the "fusion". For me, all music is some kind of "fusion" anyway!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

The "Fusion" here basically means "Electric Miles". As Miles himself famously said to Nancy Reagan
-
"Well, I've changed the course of music five or six times. What have you done except f**k the president?"

-meaning it's not about our favorite be bop, modal jazz or post bop-Miles albums, although those obviously "fuse stuff" too. So did Les Baxter and Martin Denny, but they are not Fusion with a capital F. We're discussing the period when he changed the course of music starting around 1968-1969 - which lasted till his (temporary) retirement, in 1975. Which I'm sure you already know.
