The finals would be Miles "acoustic" vs Miles electric.





my vote is for Bird

I would vote Bird over Coltrane, but I would still vote Talking Heads over Bird.

I'm assuming Miles "acoustic" would be the quintet, and how about Mingus with Dolphy and without.

well, there's the Miles Quintet with Trane, Sextet with Trane and Adderly and Quintet with Herbie. Not to mention the Birth of the Blues band (octet or nonet, I forget) and the switches in the rhythm section
imo you can only slice and dice so much.

and, I would take them all ahead of the Talking Heads

(not a negative on the Talking Heads)

Talking Heads had several different "expanded" line-ups... This one was the best, though:

David Byrne
Tina Weymouth
Chris Frantz
Jerry Harrison
Steve Scales
Bernie Worrell
Dolette MacDonald
Buster Jones
Adrien Belew

Prime example:

That would be my favorite TH line-up. Good stuff right there.
And also, that clip... I think I have that on dvd and I'm pretty sure I may have gotten it from you.

Speaking of! Dude, can I get a copy of that from you at JF?! I know we had talked about it before, but I don't remember what happened. Anyhow, the Born Under Punches is my fav from those clips that I've seen:
