Miles Davis Newbe Question

There never has been, and there never will be another "Bird". His music is "current" always and forever.

Orpheus10,
Cannonball is a little less (if any) bebop...and a little more, only stylistically, to my taste.
His album with Nancy Wilson, is a treasure that I've turned tons of folks on to.
His rendition of 'Can't Get Started' is another 'Gold Standard'.

Do you have "Charley Parker With Strings", it's timeless. "Bebop" is kind of a mood thing, and while it illustrates the virtuosity of "Bird" it came and it went.

That album is a treasure to me as well

Yes, and the one I mentioned is his whole (most anyway) collection.

Charlie Parker is a freakishly good player, whose 'licks', 'phrasings' are still copied and emulated some 50 odd years later.

You'd like my collection Orpheus10.

CK,
Some Miles Davis you`d probably enjoy, "Some Day My Prince Will Come","Sketches of Spain", "Miles Ahead" and "Seven Steps to Heaven".
Sarah Vaughan`s "Embracable You" features simply excellent Clifford Brown trumpet at its best."Clifford Brown with Strings" is also first rate ballad trumpet playing.
Best Regards,
