What genres did Miles Davis influence?
 

Can anyone tell me how many Genres did Miles Davis influence. How many did he compose or write music for??
Thanks

Not a huge fan of Miles but I'd say he was one of the biggest influences on the developement of jazz fusion.

what Genres did Miles Davis influence
 

I was kind of thinking of the following:
Contempory Jazz
Fusion Jazz
Hip Hop
Smooth Jazz
Rock and Roll
R&B
Bebop
Rap


can anyone add more ??

^^^Rap and Hip Hop?

Avant-Garde Jazz
Modal Jazz
Cool Jazz
Jazz-Funk

Ambient is also a more subtle influence of his. You'd be surprised how some of those jazz fusion recordings dive into that territory (for some background, check out Panthalassa: The Music of Miles Davis 1969-1974). Post-Rock is another good indicator; In A Silent Way feels much like a precursor to the genre, albeit in a silent way (OOOOHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA)

jazz-rock fusion
modal jazz
experimental electronic jazz

^^^I can't argue with that.;)
