Miles Davis Newbe Question

As an additional thought...while my first concert was Miles Davis...and it was wonderful...stylistically, I preferred and still prefer Clifford Brown to Miles...Clifford was wonderful...and depending on your personal tastes, you may like his work, may not....but he is a worthy listen.
The Complete Blue Note and Pacific Jazz Recordings....I was just listening the other day, and commented here on Audiogon as to 'What's on your Turntable'.
Sadly, Clifford died so young in a car accident...1956. But his legacy and work lives on--he worked with Cannonball Adderley and Charlie Parker...great people to associate with.
If you try him...let us know what you think...his style and tone...for my taste the best...Chris Botti unabashedly emulates his style--and while not as good, a terrific player in his own right.

Good listening,
Larry

Clifford is my favorite too. His pairing with Max Roach was the best. Richie Powell, who was Bud Powell's younger brother was also killed in that accident.

Orpheus10...
Thanks for reading...wow...does it get any better than Clifford...
When I hear some of the Alto players (I played and tried, operative word tried, to play like Charlie...) of that era, I'm amazed at the talent level...it was a Golden Era...people who don't listen to that genre and era are really missing out.

You are in my inner circle of 'Those with undeniable Taste!!', lol.

There never has been, and there never will be another "Bird". His music is "current" always and forever.

Orpheus10,
Cannonball is a little less (if any) bebop...and a little more, only stylistically, to my taste.
His album with Nancy Wilson, is a treasure that I've turned tons of folks on to.
His rendition of 'Can't Get Started' is another 'Gold Standard'.
