Never listened to him, need some music for college....room in the PM box...just throwing that out there

Listening to Kind of Blue on a record player while blazed is so awesome. Definitely top 10 albums of all time for me.

I'm down for this discussion, love me some Miles! I've been wanting to see Miles Ahead for ever, anyone watch it yet?

[WidespreadMule3]

Miles opened the doors to jazz for me.

Kind of Blue is without a doubt his best and deserves every mention of timeless masterpiece it gets. But In A Silent Way will always be my favorite Davis album.

I haven't seen Miles Ahead, I might watch it tonight though. The reviews look just above average

It wasn't that good. Cheadle was great, but the movie itself was pretty bad.












Sidenote: Bill Evans on the piano>>>>>>.

Damn that's disappointing, so is it worth a watch or no?

Kind of Blue is the classic.

Birth of the Cool is fantastic.

Bitches Brew is great, but In a Silent Way is its grossly underrated older sibling.

Bitches Brew for life, vatos

Gotta go with this. I've said it a million times on ants but So What is the greatest opener to any album ever.

It's About That Time is probably my favorite Miles track. Bitches Brew is from another planet. Miles Runs the Voodoo Down is hard to beat. Sketches of Spain and Nefertiti are up there too.

On the Corner is probably not one that jumps out to people because it's not that pure jazz that Miles perfected in the 50's and 60's. It's a cornerstone for soul, funk, and eventually hip hop. One and One is so damn funky! Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the Talking Heads were listening to Black Satin when they writing Listening Wind from Remain in Light. His influence is something you can still hear in music today.

Spinning Miles Smiles vinyl right now.

Wayne Shorter deserves all of the praise in the world for composing Footprints. Damn, what a song.

I forgot about On The Corner. That's a great album. Been a while since I listened to that. I remember getting that along with like 10 other jazz albums one year for Christmas. It got lost in the mix. Need to go relisten to that.
