Should Miles Davis be in the archives

Listen to Miles Davis's CBS Years 4 CD boxset and you will believe this 
is
the guy who played bebop, post bop, the cool of Kind A Blue (apparently 
the
best selling jazz album ever), did Bitches Brew. Miles Davis 
continually
evolved not sitting still, unlike Wyntron Marsalis (who infact has gone
backwards IMHO). But as stated many times in PA, Miles Davis did not 
invent
jazz rock fusion - for goodnesssake do some reading and research, e.g a 
good
start point is Stuart Nicholson's Jazz Rock A History. Miles Davis's 
main
influence on this sub-genre is moving jazz rock fusion (indeed jazz 
funk
fusion) from the underground to become a mainstream musical force - but 
even
then the great Miles Davis Groups of the late 60's and early 70's often
didn't have lead billing at gigs - check out the other performers and 
their
comparative status for the famous Fillmore shows.

With a discography that goes back before 1945, (and all those 
compialtion
albums) Miles Davis would prove a real nightmare for inclusion in the
current set up of PA (i.e. inclusion means ever legit album may be 
listed Hey, you could list it under the line-up Miles worked with for his 

prog albums, he had a different band/quartet etc, for each phase. Anyway 

even b4 his fusion stuff he still experimented with non jazz styles, 

check sketches in spain apparently it had a hug classical influence on 

his Jazz. All in all I think we don't need to list Miles Davis but 

rather Miles Davis and his band/quartet he was working with at the time.
and reviewed), when perhaps we only want to list the post-1968 albums - 
and
then if you read the most recent Miles Davis biography covering his 
last 10
years of life, then you will discover Davis wanted to and did record 
with
Prince and rap artists.Rush also did rap on roll the bones, Genesis's later 

albums wern't exactly prog. So that is largely irrelevent.

Personally all for the inclusion of the late 60's and 70's albums, but 
they
only reflect a small fraction of Davis's output. Don't forget Davis 

discography is vast and when you mean a small fraction you're still 

talking about at least 7 albums not just a couple of prog like David Bowie.
