    I like that even in a pic w/the two together, seemingly candid or by accident, Miles is still like:
    What the fuck is wrong with this fool.

    They're both game changing geniuses whose legacy still has an impact on music to this day.

    Miles always looked kool as a ma'fuka, even in that shirt. Kenny always looks goofy as a ma'fuka, even next to Miles.

    Kenny G: It's your boy right here, it's young!
    Miles: Who is this herb?

    great picture

    Other than the fact that they both blow air into a metal instrument, not a fucking thing.

    By the time Miles teamed up with Teo Macero, he pretty much started using the same cheesy, brassy tone as Kenny G. A lot of those late-60's Miles albums are still good despite the commercial sound, but once Miles started approaching the 80's...fuggitabouddit.

    Of course, I think the older Kind of Blue sowed plenty of seeds for what I consider Miles' bastardization of the classic bebop trumpet tone ala Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Kenny Dorham, etc.

    Miles and Freddie Hubbard...great at times, and at others...full on suck.

    At least, that's one man's opinion.

    They both hate corny-ass soft commercial rhyming.

    Oh, wait...that's what KRS and Tim Dog have in common.

    during the 70's both tried their hand at funk projects that aimed to capture the interest of the young black market.

    When you walk into a megastore, they are the only 2 artists in the Jazz section.

    Does no one like the Jeff Lorber stuff that Kenny played on? I'm a sucker for a bit of that straight fusion stuff.

    Yeah, I ride for that. Galaxian, Water Sign, Soft Space and dem. Dennis Bradford was killing it on drums. There was a track called "Black Ice" we used to cover that was always a blast to play. I think the one GORELICK came on board to replace Terry Layne on the later stuff, like Wizard Island. The G Man is technically better but Terry had more soul.

    Cheers Jim I wasn't aware of the Pre-G Lorber stuff, I'll check some out.

    If you have not heard this one the time is now. Quartet with Joe Henderson, Rick Laird, Ron Steen. Great electric keys in a driving straight ahead setting.
