I knew it! I can't tell you how many art house, coffee shop patrons consider Sinatra to be the epitome of jazz. Don't get me wrong, he had incredible presence, and a great voice, but he wasn't an innovator or much of a composer. If you put Old Blue Eyes next to Miles "I'm going to rape your soul with my trumpet, and you'll come back wanting more" Davis, it's no contest at all. Sinatra was an entertainer. Coltrane, Davis, et all were musicians and innovators.
