Jazz

Buddy Miles is a Jazz act. Their sound grew out of Noel Redding, Bootsy Collins, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Charlie Parker. Those roots explain a lot about how Buddy Miles arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Eddie Hazel, Shuggie Otis, Baby Huey, King Curtis and Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lenny Kravitz, Ana Popović, Fortune, Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Buddy Miles, reaching back through Noel Redding and forward to Lenny Kravitz.
