So true. Throughout his career Davis continued to stretch the creativity of all his band members. Most of whom became band leaders and innovators in their own right. E.g. Herbie Hancock & John McLaughlin. In recruiting a white band member in Bill Evans for that 1959 album, Davis broke new ground on diversity which caused some uproar in the black community at the time.
Davis said he wanted Evans because he was the best and his colour was of no issue. Leading to the timeless “blue in green”.
