Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis

@jond I think Clifford Brown had better control than Miles Davis, it’s a shame he died so young. We’d be having a different conversation I think.

Chet

Even though Chet Baker has a couple of golden horn awards, I always thought that they let him play the trumpet so he would sing especially in the later years when he was reported to have problems. I'm a big fan of his singing but not so much his horn playing. So if you are asking about playing.... Miles Davis.... 

Chet Baker, to me, was a pleasant crooner a good trumpet player. On the other hand, I believe Miles Davis was a musical pioneer who evolved with and at times defined what jazz was to become.

I really like Chet as well.
