This was almost a band. Fucking junkies.
>She met Miles Davis in 1967 and married him in September 1968. In just one year of marriage, she influenced him greatly by introducing him to the fashions and the new popular music trends of the era. In his autobiography, Miles credited Betty with helping to plant the seeds of his future musical explorations by introducing the trumpeter to psychedelic rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix and funk innovator Sly Stone. The Miles Davis album Filles de Kilimanjaro (1968) includes a song named after her and her photo on the front cover.
>Miles believed that Hendrix and Betty had an affair which supposedly hastened the end of their marriage, but Betty denies this. Hendrix and Miles stayed close after the divorce, planning to record, until Hendrix's death.
>The influence of Hendrix and especially Sly Stone on Miles Davis was obvious on the album Bitches Brew (1970), which ushered in the era of jazz fusion.

Just because they're all great separately doesn't mean they'd be great together. Supergroups aren't as great as they seem on paper. But that Miles and Hendrix album would have been cool to hear.

Some can be though. The Highwaymen and The Traveling Wilburys were a peak for all their members during the 80s (and by that I mean in comparison to their 80s work only) besides Tom Petty. And CSNY was always a supergroup.

Davis also wanted a supergroup with himself, Hendrix and McCartney on bass. McCartney wouldn't have been up to par imo, his whole thing is about steadyness and the others improvised way too much.
