What would a Miles Davis/Jimi Hendrix collaboration have sounded like? |
|
I am listening to Miles Davis right now and I listened to Hendrix earlier and God the possibilities are endless.

1. I don't know that they'd be compatible |

Hendrix's playing was much more aggressive than Davis's. I'm sure they could put something together being professional musicians and all, but it would probably have a totally different style than what either of them played.

5. I think they may have found common ground with experimental blues |
|
i.e., taking old blues standards and giving them with a new edge.
They both did that separately, so I could imagine them collaborating along those lines.
Of course, if they had actually got together it would have defied any simple-minded categorization I could come up with.

If there is a musical afterlife we'd have to be dead to enjoy it.
RIP Miles and Jimi.

6. I heard recently that Miles was planning on recording with Jimi... |
|
... shortly before Jimi died. It sure would have been amazing.

Just imagine the riffs that could have been!
