If you are a fan of jazz, then
you're probably a fan of Miles Davis. This virtuoso had many
different bands and lineups, and he released numerous recordings,
many of which were landmarks in the music world. My favorite
Miles recordings are from a period from about 1965 to 1975. A few
jazz fans I know did not like this period when he "went off
into the deep end", but I believe this to be his greatest
work, as it brought many people into the jazz world that were not
there before. During this time most of the music he was playing
could be classified as jazz fusion, or a mix of jazz, rock, and
other styles, and his lineup included jazz greats like Herbie
Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and John McLaughlin, who later played
with jazz fusion greats, The Mahavishnu Orchestra.
