It's great that you guys want to take jazz more seriously, but really there's no way Miles isn't the pick. Literally every major jazz innovation across three decades was either spearheaded by him, or he was at its forefront. No need to be contrarian.

This
On The Corner alone is more influential than most other artists entire career
>>63835991
I agree but it's hard to put miles above duke or bird or louis armstrong. I definitely prefer miles' music. Meh maybe miles is a better pick than anyone else.

>yfw jimi fucked betty in paris and miles fucked jimi's girl
>>63835991
nah bruh jazz is boring. there's not one situation irl when you can put that shit on. like when i get it on with my girl she wants that drake, she wants the weeknd. when i'm cruising with the boys they want migos or waka flocka. and when i'm by myself smoking a blunt i finna play some doom or something but none of that dusty miles coltrane shit

You can’t play nothing on modern trumpet that doesn’t come from him, not even modern shit. I can’t even remember a time when he sounded bad playing the trumpet. Never. Not even one time. He had great feeling up in his playing and he always played on the beat. I just loved the way he played and sang.

They were at paris (or maybe it was london) at the same time, then a girl wanted miles to fuck her and she said something like "if jimi is with your girl than I want to be with you". So they did the whoohoo. It's in miles' autobiography. Miles was never the jealous type.
>>63836197
So, Miles was salty but Jimi didn't give a fuck? Shouldn't they have been brehs n shiet, since they both fucked each other over?
>>63836218
Oh, I see. I never pegged Miles for the angry salty bitter type.
>>63836235
They were. If jimi didn't die in the bathtub he would've been the guitarist on Live Evil. Miles had a lot of respect for jimi.
Kanye West is going to go #1 this week without having sold a single copy of his album and not selling it to samsung.

In Miles: The Autobiography, the trumpeter acknowledged Betty's impact on his late-'60s wardrobe switch from pressed Italian suits to funkier gear, and he credits her with urging him to listen closely to Sly & the Family Stone and James Brown, auguring his shift to harder rhythms on albums like 1971's Jack Johnson and 1972's On the Corner.

Nah Miles never really cared about that stuff. His first girlfriend who gave birth to two of his kids was messing around with other guys so those kids might not been his. But Miles didn't really care. He was totally cool.
>>63836263
That would have been GOAT
>>63836366
yea I think it could have been one of the greatest collabs of all time. We will NEVER EVER hear miles and jimi playing together ;_;
>nobody mentions the original /mu/ shitposter
What is wrong with you fags?
>>63836395
Miles, Jimi AND Sly would have been amazing.

How big on an influence was he on Tom Waits? Did Heat Legend v.1.0 beta admit to it ever?
