Yes, this is what we needed. I don't have a lot of jazz, but I've really grown to love it. Most of what I have is Miles Davis, who is a brilliant musician as far as I'm concerned. Anybody else listen to Miles?

My dad is a jazz drummer, so yes I grew up around him! Him along with all the other great ones!!

I'm a relative newcomer to jazz, but Miles Davis is near the top of my list of favorite jazz musicians. Kind of Blue is rightly considered to be one of, if not the greatest jazz albums of all time.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. I only have about 10 jazz albums, but Kind of Blue is easily at the top of the list. It's just so sublime and beautiful. While I'm a bigger fan of rock music than jazz, I think I've probably listened to KOB more than any other album in my collection. Radiohead's OK Computer is the only other that even comes close.

Miles. *raises hand* Yeh, yeh. As far as trumpeters are concerned...Marsalis and Satchmo are there too.

If we are talking trumpets what about Louis Armstrong, C'est Si Bon, We Have alll the time in the world, Stormy Weather, and Blueberry hill are brilliant.

Chet Baker is good on the trumpet and a pretty good voice although more swingish.

I am a big Miles Davis fan too. Kind of Blue never seems to grow old.
