MarcM Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I like Miles and respect Herb Alpert, but they are hardly rock & roll. Is there a jazz section at the museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Herb could qualify for starting A&M records, and Miles could qualify for doing an album with Jimi Hendrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Herb was in the top 40 many times in the 60's, one of the tops in that category...Not rock by our standards, but he was on the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that Buddy Miles with Hendrix, or did I miss something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Some would say that if there is a music hall of fame anywhere, in any category that Miles Davis belongs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yes, Buddy Miles did play with Hendrix, in the Band Of Gypsies period. I've always heard about a bootleg that Jimi did with Miles Davis, but I don't know if it actually exists. I do know that Jimi was a huge influence on Miles around the time of "Bitches Brew", so maybe that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I remember that... there was an album Davies/Hendrix... was it a bootleg? I sure remmber something like that... I´m trying to find more info about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 At least I'm not crazy. Edna, please post anything you find. Maybe we're both nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 No, I don´t think we are... I cannot find any clue but I´m sure that I remember something about a record with both Hendrix and Davies... it was back in the early seventies (Hendrix was dead already) and I had many friends from Germany and Holland who had bootlegs or strange records... I´ll keep searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Maybe the Hall of Fame was thinking of the influence Miles Davis had on rock musicians and rock audiences ( he played at rock concerts - Fillmore West & East) when the Bitches Brew album came out in 1970.

edna Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 A friend of mine says that I´m thinking of Buddy Miles... of course not, I know who Buddy Miles is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkMets9 Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think on the "Jimi Hendrix: Live at the Filmore East" DVD, someone says Miles Davis said something like, "I wish I could have jammed with [Hendrix]." I might be mistaken though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I was talking to an old friend yesterday about that collaboration Hendrix/Davies, he says it might be a bootleg copy of the Festival of Wight, 1970, where they recorded the whole performance of Hendrix and the whole performance of Miles Davies... so it might have been a strange bootleg compilation with just the two of them playing... but not jamming together. That´s all the info I have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 So then, as they say on "Mythbusters", this one is busted. Regardless, Miles should be in the Hall Of Fame. He did play with his back to the audience - that's pretty rock and roll. Thanks for the research efforts, Edna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Miles should be in the Hall Of Fame. You mean Buddy or Davies? Thanks for the research efforts, Edna! You´re welcome, Das.
