Seconded! Im a massive fan of Miles Davis & he is my most endured Jazz artist. I much prefer his later work, which was what I started on, as opposed to the earlier stuff. I have a much bigger liking for the sort of 'on the edge' stuff he did in the 70s & 80s. My favourite album is 'On The Corner'. I also love 'Doo Bop' which was his last album , released posthumously in 1991.

He is definately a legend.

I tend to like individual songs more than albums when it comes to jazz music, and for me "Take Five" and "Freddie Freeloader" are my absolute favourites by Miles Davis.

Miles Davis - 'Round About Midnight

Yeah I bought it about a month or so ago now. I think Miles gets this kind of 'soothing' sound from his trumpet right at the start of the album which is (as always) excellent.

Aye let us know how you get on with them, also did you listen to the Trey Anastasio songs I posted links for?

Really? No Im definitely more of an album man, obviously I like individual songs but notice how my last fm is usually filled up with one particular artists, its because I dont do skipping like a hip kid.
Take Five? Thats by Dave Brubeck. Still a f*cking great song though. You know I was buying cds on amazon one month & had about a fiver left, had got everything I wanted (at the time) & was just looking at the 'what other customers bought' lists & actually did a blind buy on Dave Brubeck's 'Time Out' album. I had no idea who he was at the time of purchase or any of the music on the album but out of all the blind purchases I've done (& I do them all the time) this is definitely one of the best.
Talking of blind purchases, this month I did a blind purchase on an album by Mark Lanegan & Isobell Campell called 'Sunday At Devil Dirt'. I knew who Mark Lanegan was but didnt really dig the Screaming Trees that much but now I have a totally new appreciation for Mark Lanegan, of whom I knew had solo material but never thought I would ever like it as much as I liked this album:




EDIT: This may sound ridiculous to other posters (& f*cking ridicule it if you like!) but I thought that Mark Lanegan's voice was (at times) sort of a cross between Nick Cave & Johnny Cash. Concurr, anyone?

Um, no I think I added it to downloads, Im gonna have to get out my external hard drive when Im off on sunday as Im pretty much out of memory at the moment. I just dont like having it out all the time as Im worried itll break(Ive heard they can get broke very easily).
Yeah, I reckon 'Lawn Boy' & 'A Picture Of Nectar' are the ones that you would like the most. You should also download 'Billy Breathes' though. I have quite a lot of Phish albums on my WMP but havent listened to all of them yet.
Whoa man that album is f*cking the dogs bollocks. I actuallly (stupidly) forgot I had it lol. Another cracker I have & you might be interested in is BB King, Pat Metheny & Dave Brubeck playing live together around 1983.
