I’ve been diving more into Miles albums, really enjoying them and it’s quite dope to see him being able to vary his sound across lots of albums.

Tutu is the 4th album I played by him and it’s quite groovy, quite accessible. Would you consider that to be his most fun album?

that one or Doo-Bop for me. his mid 80s albums(outside of Tutu) i would say are his most accessible but I wouldn't say they're all that great tbh

idk if you know this but Marcus Miller who helped produce Tutu is famous for his bass playing and was on Luther Vandross' first couple of albums and performed on countless songs. he's really good

I'm trying to check out Miles discography today! been wanting to for a while but always been pushing it to the side, but i think I'm ready today. can anyone recommend me some specific albums to start off to get into him? i have a wide music range and listen to alot of genres so could anyone recommend me albums by category/mood/style/genre.

Definitely peep In a Silent Way or Kind of Blue. Those are great entry points into his discography imo

on it tonight! I'll hit you up after i listen to both to tell you what i think and then you can point me in which direction of his catalog for me to check out next! 😎

for sure g his discography is overwhelming at first glance but i promise you it is a very rewarding experience

Dark Magus 🔥

lookin a little like Wayne here

Sun Ra and John Coltrane, though…

so i just got around to listening to In a Silent Way, and i came into it with no expectations other than knowing it's a jazz album, but this is soo much more. it would be disrespectful to the artistry to simply just label it a 'jazz album'. I definitely get the magic. the beginning of side 2 was straight beauty and i loved that build up towards the middle with that beautiful ending again Kind of Blue next?

sorry for the late reply but did you listen to Kind of Blue yet

i did, and it was a great listen! but upon first listen it didn't hit me the way In A Silent Way did. still a great album though, definitely have to sit on this and listen to it more than once. but i love that!

back on Miles s***

this song is profound.

get up with it is my favorite

this s*** is beautiful

same here twin

Uh-oh

This band absolutely smokes

Miles’ trumpet playing is at a peak

John McLaughlin adding some nice textures with his guitar work (he surprisingly takes a back seat, which is unusual at this time period)

Jack Dejohnnette, Airto Moreira and Michael Henderson are a motherfucking rhythm section

Keith Jarret plays keyboards in a way that remind us that pianos are a percussive instrument

Gary Bartz is the only dude I don’t find incredible, but even his playing has some cool stuff happening

Great list. For me its:
Coltrane, Davis, Monk, Hancock, Sanders

IN!

Need to dive deeper in his discography tbh. Only have listened to Kind of Blue, In a Silent Way, Brew, Workin, and Cookin (last 2 his Quintet band)

If this was posted in cs, everyone would say it’s ass

The real future hendrx
