In the jazz world, I'd include players who bring (or brought) out the best in others. Miles Davis would be cool by that measure, and so would Art Blakey, Ron Carter, Charles Lloyd, and Tommy Flanagan. I'm sure there are many more....
The cool factor- who has it?
My question relates to music and musical artist's performance and music. Who has that COOL factor? In the past or currently. For example I think the Beatles had it and also Bob Marley. Today I think Lenny Kravitz (if for nothing certainly for his longevity).
Thoughts?...
