Jazz Legend Miles Davis To Be Inducted Into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame...

I saw Miles Davis with Buddy Rich the Big Band drummer back in the early 1970's on Long Island. Buddy was told to stop playing or die. He preferred to play he told the audience. Miles had an interesting set of South American inspired music. Both conditions are enjoyed by rock and roll today (drums, death, jungle, South America) so I guess you could argue his influence back then. They just saved John Coltrane's house on Long Island in Huntington, which is nice he a jazz saxophonist who influenced rock too. Ginger Baker says he's a jazz drummer. They should maybe get a rock and roll museum on Long Island (the venues, the Young Rascals, Foghat, Jonathan Edwards, Blue Oyster Cult, Brooklyn Bridge, etc.). My three cents.
