| | Miles Davis - Free Encyclopedia |
 | | As the late 60s progressed, Miles found himself increasingly influenced by the sound and attitude of rock music, not to mention the financial rewards rock stars were obtaining, again in marked contrast to Davis' own experience. | | | These records, beginning with Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, would, together with the 1948 "Birth Of The Cool" recordings, serve to define the sound of cool jazz, which would be one of the dominant trends in the music over the next decade and beyond. | | | By the time of Star People (1983) his band included John Scofield on guitar, with whom Davis worked closely on both that record and 1984's Decoy, an underdeveloped, experimental mixture of soul music and electronica. |

| | Prestige LP 161: Miles Davis Quartet |
| | I'm not referring to musicians but rather the new generation of jazz listeners consisting of college and high school students and others of their age range who are under the misapprehension that jazz begins with the quartets of Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan. | | | There is no disparagement intended of these musicians but when phrases such as "Lee Konitz, he sounds like Paul Desmond," or "Oh, Miles Davis, you mean the sloppy Chet Baker?" are among the recent comments I have overheard, it is obvious that some people need enlightening. | | | Miles improvises on the melodic line with tender imagination. |

| | Did Miles fire Coltrane? - Jazz Bulletin Board |
| | Miles reassembled his band in 1958, the sextet that recorded "Milestones", that is, the original quintet plus Cannonball Adderly. | | | In regard to Sonny Rollins, the issue is not when he recorded with Miles, but rather when he was in Miles's band. | | | Being a former user Miles didn't care if they where using as long as they could keep their s**t together and it didn't effect the music. |

| | SO WHAT ... THE LEGEND OF MILES DAVIS - BIRDHOP Modern Jazz |
| | Miles himself would seem to agree that he was never Bird's equal in music. | | | It could be said that Miles Davis was in some intriguing ways a finally successful version of the original Charlie Parker model of the modern jazz musician. | | | The tormented genius of Charlie Parker was a direct and personal influence in the early career of the trumpet player Miles Davis — considered by some today the "major musical force of the second half of the 20th century," in the USA and beyond. |

| | The Last Miles: The Music Of Miles Davis 1980 - 1991: A book by George Cole: Profiles |
| | Miles played with some great saxophonists, including Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, so the saxophonist’s chair was always a hard one to fill. | | | Cole is a persuasive writer: he prompted me to go and dig out albums that I'd dismissed as inconsequential and listen again with fresh ears. | | | The Last Miles was voted one of the top ten music books of 2005 by Record Collector magazine. |

| | The band itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's masterful casting skills, if not of God's existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or, on "Freddie Freeloader," Wynton Kelly) on piano, and the crack rhythm unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. | | | This is the one jazz record owned by people who don't listen to jazz, and with good reason. | | | For anyone new to Miles' music, I'd recommend also seeing the short "Miles Davis Sextet Performance at the Isle of Wight Festival, 1970," for an idea of what the master was like during a performance. |
