miles davis wanted to assemble the greatest rock band in the world.
between 1969 and 1975, his bands toured rock venues, being put on strange double bills with neil young and the steve miller band at the fillmore for example.
this audience cross-over meant that miles' bands of this period were not only lovely, but were also career-making gigs for many of the band members.
name 3 of the musicians whose public careers started with miles' bands of this period (between "in a silent way" and "panagea")
