It's interesting to think about what Miles Davis would have thought about Chet Baker. On the one hand, Miles was light years ahead of Chet in his intellectual understanding of harmony, but Miles clearly understood the impact of direct, sparse soloing, and I think he probably appreciated what Chet was doing enough to tolerate him if not accept him. There were definitely some Kenny G's in that era who would have gotten the same response from Miles as Kenny G did from Pat Metheny, but I feel like Chet is one of those players who was far from the hippest but was formidable in his taste and that's why people are still transcribing him today.
