I popped in Some Kind of Blue, reportedly one of the best albums ever, and gave it a listen. Not really my type of thing. This was some years back, but I don't know how I'd feel about Davis now. Silly as it is, I enjoy Rippingtons-esque, upbeat smooth jazz more than any other kind of jazz.

Well, if we had a progressive jazz subcategory, Miles would be number one there. I've accumulated more hours of Miles music than any other artist in my CD collection even though progressive rock makes up about 90% of my collection. Of course the number of prog musicians who played with him before they went into prog is just amazing.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hmmm, who voted no?  What's not to like about Miles Davis? In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew are indeed fusion classics. Of course, his 1960s stuff was pretty cool too.

Some people are right. Personally I love him. He's one of the top musicians in history from any genre.

Some people say that Fusion was developed thanks to Miles Davis.
