Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis


As crazy as it sounds I'd have to go with Chet.

And You?

Excellent idea for a thread. Both players were highly competitive. Chet represents West Coast Jazz. Miles represents East Coast Jazz. Chet sang, Miles did not. Chet had better 1980's out put. Miles did not. Not an easy choice to pick 1 of these legends of Jazz. Enjoy both schools of philosophy.

 

Happy Listening!
