Comment:

Miles is jazz's 800-pound gorilla: He went anywhere he wanted to and towered over what had been there before. Even players who claim not to have fallen under Miles' spell feel the aftershocks of his impact, because he absolutely rewrote the rulebook from which they all take their cues. Nearly half-a-century after [i]Kind of Blue[/i] rearranged the musical landscape, we're still hearing echoes from those famous sessions, as players reach toward a brass ring that will never be recaptured.
