As an additional thought...while my first concert was Miles Davis...and it was wonderful...stylistically, I preferred and still prefer Clifford Brown to Miles...Clifford was wonderful...and depending on your personal tastes, you may like his work, may not....but he is a worthy listen.
The Complete Blue Note and Pacific Jazz Recordings....I was just listening the other day, and commented here on Audiogon as to 'What's on your Turntable'.
Sadly, Clifford died so young in a car accident...1956. But his legacy and work lives on--he worked with Cannonball Adderley and Charlie Parker...great people to associate with.
If you try him...let us know what you think...his style and tone...for my taste the best...Chris Botti unabashedly emulates his style--and while not as good, a terrific player in his own right.
Good listening,
Larry
