March Music Madness: Miles Davis vs. Jimi Hendrix

[Worf101]

Wow, this isn't even apples to oranges, this is like comparing anvils to pillows. Jimi was/is a comet and shooting star... FIRE!!!!!! Miles was swing, bop, cool, fusion and whatever he wanted to be. Both are influential beyond mere words but their arenas are so far apart their respective realms so disparate as to have either lose to the other is a crime. A better set of battles would've been...

1. Gillespie vs. Miles. - Same instrument same general span of career.

2. Miles vs. Monk - Se above.

3. Miles vs. Ellington - There's a heavyweight fight if ever I saw one.

4. Miles vs. Armtrong - Like Ford vs. Chevy guranteed to cause a ruckus.

5. Hendrix vs. Van Halen - Goes on all the time.

6. Hendrix vs. Stevie Ray Vaughn - There's one I'd like to see expored.

7. Jimi vs. BB King, Albert King or Lonnie Brooks.

I think you get my drift????
