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

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

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.

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.

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.

Stay away from Bitches Brew then. Maybe try Someday My Prince Will Come. I'm not up as much on the Rippingtons to make the right suggestion. Miles never had a set style so there's often a bit here or there to appeal to just about anybody, but much food for the ear for those with an open minded one.

Kind Of Blue is a great JAZZ record.
If you get a chance, listen to Bitches Brew, In A Silent Way, Jack Johnson, or Big Fun.
These albums are a completely different world. These are great FUSION records.
I can't promise that you'll like them of course, especially if you are into smoother styles of jazz.

He also did Porgy & Bess, but I've not heard it, so I cannot say if it's any good, but it's an earlier album, so I doubt it's fusion.
