You have to realize that this band would change their interpretation of these tunes from night to night...to keep things "fresh"...."Footprints" is one of the relatively few originals by his sidemen that they regularly performed live @ that time....
The Miles "sound" was much different from the Coltrane sound...as Herbie said, Miles liked things to be "slick"....and the Coltrane sound
was much more of a "raw" sound...so, McCoy would have not sounded "right" in Miles' band, and [probably] Herbie would have developed differently under Coltane's influence....
Also, McCoy was much more strongly influenced by Coltrane, so the style that he developed by the time he left Coltrane was more of a
"departure" from the Bud Powell-style bebop approach....In contrast, Herbie, as Miles said, was the "next step" [and, perhaps, the logical conclusion] after Monk and Powell...
herbie and mccoy are definitely my two favorite piano players; i have a slight preference for mccoy, but i think that's a matter of personal taste since they're both fabulous.
still, they're both more harmonically-oriented than earlier players, but herbie is more economical
Miles was so dam cool!!!! Just an iceberg. Haha. He just walked off the stage. You have to be The Man to do that, plain and simple. That's that American Swagger. haha
That's a muscular-ideology.
"keep an open mind" haven't you? Well,
being mature opens up the world that you've missed.
Be good!
