Yeah Love supreme is supreme.

I'd also chose Clifford Brown's trumpet playing over miles's every time.
Check out "Jazz immortal" he could play circles around miles.
Too bad he died at 25 we never found out his true potential.

Miles became a legend partly by a war of attrition. He outlasted so many of his contemporaries. He was the great band leader he was lucky to play with all the greats of Jazz. His alumni includes.

Charlie Parker (1940s)
John Coltrane (1950s)
Bill Evans (1960s)
Charles Mingus
Horace Silver
Sonny Rollins (1950s)
Marcus Miller (1980s)
John McLaughlin (1960s)
Herbie Han**** (1970s)
Billie Cobham (1970s)
Thelonious Monk (1940-50s)

Those are just the first of my favourtes of his bandmates that pop to my mind. There must be hundreds and hundreds.

He was one hell of a bandleader!!
