Talk:Erik Truffaz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"and as such an Epigone of Miles Davis."
- Is this fair to say?

- It seems every jazz trumpeter becomes compared to Miles Davis at some point, just as each saxophonist is sooner or later compared to John Coltrane. I find such criticisms tiresome, personally. Truffaz's trumpeting skills are very good and he makes some very avant-garde/fusion compositions. Compared to "smooth jazz" Miles of later years, Erik would seem to have surpassed him already. His album Saloua isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I can dig what he was going for. For a jazz artist of today, Truffaz is maturing with each release. If he would just stop with the vocals on tracks, the music would be much more mainstream jazz. {Mind meal 01:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)}
