In '57 ~ I was twentyish & too-hip-for-the-room ~ Kenton/Basie ~ Big bands, loved those great sounds from SO many artists ~ and still do! Heard Miles was appearing in Chgo/South-side-of.. Heard his sounds that night ~ never actually seeing him.. Retrospect? (White, 23yr girl fresh outta Fla., grabbing a Taxi to South-Side Chgo/ all non-white gig) ~ whatta memory!! Taxi-guy was angel ~even shared his joint with me back to Da Loop..
I didn't even like trumpet before I heard Miles. I associated it the high screeching sound of Menard Ferguson. It was when I heard Miles noodle about in the lower registers with almost a voice like quality that I really began to appreciate the instrument. Dizzy was great, but too fast and wild for my tastes. Kind of Blue was a revolution in jazz for me.
What can one say about Miles Davis that hasn't already had a ton of ink spilled on it. He was a true visionary, and help create genres of jazz that still, to this day, are as fresh as the day they first appeared.
