Miles Davis
My inital exposure to Miles' music came in the early 1970's with records like "In a Silent Way", "Bitches Brew" and "A Tribute to Jack Johnson". Later, I discovered the 1950's Miles and fell in love with that too. I was fortunate enough to see Miles perform live a couple of times between 1980 and 1985.
Here's a list of some of my favorite Miles Davis recordings. In chronological order and divided into some of the different musical genres he pioneered.
