hi yall! i'm a very new fan of miles davis, just listened to Live-Evil for the first time and was absolutely blown away!!

i'm making this post because i have read several times that miles was so blown away by the song "In Time" by Sly & the Family Stone that he made his band listen to it over and over for half an hour. i *love* that song, and i feel like if he was so inspired by that song that he made his band listen to it a bunch, there has to have been something that came out of that, right?

i know that it's said that his album The Corner was inspired partially by Sly, and i still intend on checking that out, but that came out in 1972, and Fresh, the album "In Time" is from, came out in 1973. i just was wondering if anybody in here could point me in the possible right direction, or let me down easy if no such recordings exist. thank you!!!

I’ve been obsessed with Alice and John Coltrane. I took a little break this week and returned to an old favorite, Mr miles Davis with
the new to me album, “aura”. I’m blown away all over again. Miles is just uber sophisticated, and so deep. Red, electric red and indigo are top favorites.

Hello! Longtime lurker, first time poster. My dad won a watch (about 25 years ago) and has given it to me on a trip to London (we're from Manchester), does anyone have an idea where it's from? Or what it might be worth? It's quite a light, cheap thing tbh. Maybe a Columbia special edition of some sort? It has zero markings, brand name, nothing! What do you reckon?

(Just to put some cred out there, dad saw MD at the Isle of Wight, my parents saw every London and Manchester gig he played in the 80s; and I have a tattoo of the cover of Miles in the Sky as a tribute to my mum, we're all lifers!)

A visionary. A trailblazer. Miles Davis — often called the father of cool jazz — was an artist who bent sound, broke rules, and helped write America’s story in music. But, before the world knew his name, before the trumpet changed everything, his journey began in East St. Louis."

"A century after his birth, Miles Davis still shapes the sound of jazz. Craft Recordings has released ‘The Best of Miles Davis,’ out now exclusively on vinyl, produced in collaboration with the artist’s estate to honor his centennial year."

Hi everyone. A while ago, I shared the beginning of my live arrangement of "All Blues" here. In this new short, I wanted to focus on the middle section of the track, leaving more room for soloing and improvisation. Managing the modal phrasing on the custom 14-string guitar while simultaneously keeping the groove with the foot drums is always a rewarding challenge—especially on a Miles masterpiece where space and silence matter as much as the notes. I hope you enjoy this more dynamic development of the performance.

"Following the presale of the limited edition product, Dad Grass and the Miles Davis Estate have officially released Miles Davis Bitches Brew by Dad Grass, a THC-infused leisure drink inspired by Bitches Brew – the landmark 1970 album that reshaped jazz and continues to influence music, art, and culture more than five decades later."

Working on a listening space here in New Orleans and want to build a catalog for discovery across genres, artists, labels, etc. Also, build a list of other amazing resources online. Hope you like it.
